With the Academy Awards less than two weeks away, nominees are frantically picking out red carpet gowns, going on crash diets, and picking that perfect spot in their home to showcase Oscar if they win, and Breaking Celebrity News has photos inside the front-runner’s homes where the golden statues may soon reside.

Nominated for War Horse, producer and director Steven Spielberg has enough room to keep a whole herd of ponies at his homes in the Pacific Palisades, the Hamptons and Malibu. The three-time Oscar winner has owned most of his homes for more than 20 years, reported Zillow.com, including a 7,000-square foot beach house in Malibu that has 7 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and was bought by the E.T. creator for $3,375,033 in 1989.

With his revolving door of girlfriends, George Clooney needs the ultimate bachelor pad. Along with his romantic Italian villa on the shores of Lake Como, the Best Actor nominee for The Descendents and Best Writing, and Adapted Screen Play nominee for The Ides of March also owns a spacious estate in Studio City, near Los Angeles. The 8-bedroom mock-Tudor house has a pool and tennis courts, and a three-acre nature reserve.
