Back in 2015, on The Graham Norton Show, Kate Winslet revealed after she finally won an Oscar in 2009, she keeps the statue in her bathroom so that guests can practice their hypothetical acceptance speeches.
Not only is it an obvious yet tasteful brag that guests won't be able to miss, but it's also the perfect opportunity for guests to shamelessly get some alone time with the statue in front of a mirror.
It's a win for everyone.
She won Best Actress for her part in The Reader.
But according to Kate, she knew right away that her bathroom was going to be the spot.
“The whole point is for everybody to pick it up and go, ‘I’d like to thank my son and my dad,'" she said.
“They’ll come out looking slightly pink-cheeked. It’s hysterical.”
She began by explaining just how happy she was to finally win an Academy Award.
"See, the thing is, you get really good at losing."
"What had happened is I had two films come out at the same time — which is not uncommon, actually."
"I went to the Golden Globes that year and I had been nominated in two different categories and won them both."
"It was quite fabulous," she went on. "A personal fist-bumping moment — the best one of my whole life."
"One tries," Kate responded. "First of all, it's very heavy — I just need to say that. It weighs about six or seven pounds."
"And wants to stand up and go, 'I'd like to thank,' she said, pretending to hold the Oscar up and give an acceptance speech.
"Because then when everyone goes in for a wee or a poo, they can really take their time in front of the mirror with Oscar," she went on.
"You're playing with Oscar!," she joked. "And then they come — 'How was Oscar?' and they go ' Oh my god! It's so heavy!'"
