Emmy Award Winners, Where Do You Keep Your Statuette?

TV’s biggest night is finally upon us: the 2024 Emmy Awards will be held on the evening of September 15 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. While a number of the small screen’s most beloved actors are gearing up for the moment of a lifetime, we at AD are particularly interested in how Emmy winners show off their loot after the show. And we know we’re not alone—past inquiries into the subject have yielded some intriguing results. Last year, after a tour on Vogue’s 73 Questions series showed Gwyneth Paltrow’s Oscar being put to work on her Amagansett property as a doorstop, the choice made so many headlines that her representative eventually clarified it was, of course, a joke. Kate Winslet made the utterly unpretentious decision to keep her Oscar in her bathroom (to give guests a laugh), and she’s not alone: Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star Rachel Brosnahan admitted to keeping her Golden Globes on her toilet due to NYC’s notorious square-footage struggles.
If you find yourself watching this year’s Emmy Awards and wondering where some of those little gold ladies of years past have ended up, read on for a peek into where the stars keep their statuettes.
Sheryl Lee Ralph
“My Emmy loves to roam the house,” Abbott Elementary star Sheryl Lee Ralph tells AD. “Sometimes I find her in my office sitting on top of the champagne cooler. A reminder that every day is a celebration. Then there are times I find her with the African artwork. Gold is such a beautiful accent to wood, but my Emmy is so good because she is supporting and loves to be in my arms.”
Edie Falco
Sopranos star and four-time Emmy winner Edie Falco displays her statuettes—three for her turn in the seminal gangster drama and another for her role as the lead actor in the Showtime series Nurse Jackie—alongside the hard-earned honors of her family. “I keep them with my kids’ soccer and gymnastics trophies,” she tells AD. “None of them are any more or less special than any other.”
Alex Borstein
“Well, my first Maisel Emmy was stolen by my parents,” three-time Emmy winner Alex Borstein tells AD. “They have it proudly displayed in their home as part of a makeshift shrine that they erected in my honor. It looks a bit like a roadside memorial, as if I passed in that precise location—God help you if you should visit because they will force you to stand in front of it and really ‘take it all in.’ I keep the other two Emmys perched high atop my stairwell, displayed in little cubbies next to each character’s respective hat: a gold top hat like the one worn by Lois Griffin during the opening theme of every episode of Family Guy, and the Greek fisherman’s cap worn by Susie Myerson. I like that they are up there, safe and sound above my beloved books, on display like a nice vase or a beautiful sculpture. Reminders of some great moments in my life so far.”
Tony Hale
Between Veep star Tony Hale, his wife, Emmy-winning makeup artist Martel Thompson, and their daughter, there’s no shortage of honors to display at home. “We put them in the kitchen on either side of one our daughter’s old school awards. Her awards are just as important as ours!”
Kristin Chenoweth
“I keep my Emmy at the Kristin Chenoweth Theater in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, my hometown,” Broadway legend Kristin Chenoweth, who nabbed an Emmy for her role in Pushing Daisies in 2009, tells AD. “I display it there in hopes to inspire younger generations that come see the shows there. I want them to know [that] no matter where you come from, with hard work, you can make it happen. Not always in the form of an award, of course. But mainly, the arts have the power to change lives! What we do MATTERS!”
