From time to time you'll enter someone's apartment and realize that, with horror, they've over-stated the importance of their Emmy or Golden Globe statuette. (You can never overemphasize an Oscar, it turns out.) In an interview with Claire Zulkey, the writer of the NYT's Ethicist column has advice for proper installation of Emmy awards in your home:

It's very tricky, deciding where to put them in your apartment in a way that says you attach no importance to them. But it also has to be a place where no one coming in can miss it. Were you to enter my apartment (call first), there are bookshelves in the foyer, and the foyer is only four feet deep, so that you're quite close to the bookshelves so if you passed by them and turned your head up, you'd see them. And the other one is at my mother's house in the country.
