apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Sinatra often used his award for "From Here to Eternity" as a doorstop.

I have read were Ed Begley Jr keeps his fathers oscar over the kitty's litter box. LOL

A friend of a friend is the widow of Kenneth Utt, producer of "Silence of the Lambs." Her husband's Oscar sits on the piano ... the first time I was over there, I picked it up ... the darned thing is HEAVY! And the plating has begun to wear away at the ankles, the spot where everyone who visits over the years picks it up and holds it. (Very cool, I have to say!)

Mantel mantel mantel.

I have an award (not an OSCAR) and keep it in the entertainment center bookshelves. There is a light in the cabinet which spotlights it. Have to say the light is never turned on, though, and the cabinet is deep with a glass door, so it's pretty much invisible.

In the military we joked about having an "I-love-me wall" for plaques and certificates. You get lots of them, so you could theoretically fill a wall, aim some lighting at them and bask in your awesomeness. If you're sort of sad.
