Jon Stewart once joked that he would use his Emmy statuette to prop up the sinking foundation of his house. Most Emmy winners, though, tend to keep their trophies in a special place indoors.
As nominees gear up for Sunday's 62nd annual ceremony, a look at where past winners keep their coveted hardware:
• Jennifer Aniston, who won in 2002 for "Friends": She had kept that Emmy and another award on a shelf in her office. "I thought, 'How do I make good use of them?' So, they're bookends."
• Four-time winner Helen Mirren ("Prime Suspect" in 1995 and 2006; "The Passion of Ayn Rand" in 1999 and "Elizabeth I" in 2005): "I've got one in England and I've got one here (in the United States), and I guess ... I don't know where it is. The one that I have here is, actually, in my office in New York. But the one in England — I think it's in my living room. I can't remember."
• Bette Midler, whose Emmys include a 1992 trophy for outstanding individual performance on the penultimate airing of "The Tonight Show" starring Johnny Carson: "My three Emmys are in the city, in New York, in my home. I don't display them. I just have them in a cupboard somewhere. I'm very proud of them. But the thing that I'm most proud of is my Johnny Carson. I have a photograph of me and Johnny Carson, the last night. And that's the only thing I display."
