(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Chris Colfer allows himself one "self-obsessed area" in his home where he displays all his awards.

The actor is gay student Kurt Hummel in American comedy show Glee, about school kids who love singing. The part has won him a host of prizes, including Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and Teen Choice Awards.

Chris doesn't like to boast about his career but is proud to have been recognised. For that reason he displays all his accolades at home, but only in one area.

"I have [my Golden Globe] in the middle of a stand that I keep in my entertainment room," he told Parade.

"I just bought a house and have this cove. The stairs wrap around it and it's the perfect place to keep awards. I couldn't imagine what anyone else would do with that area besides display things so my SAG Award is there, my Teen Choice award is there, and GLAAD Awards, TV Guide, all my awards and nomination certificates are there hanging and framed. I have one self-obsessed area in my house."

Chris is in the running for this year's best supporting comedy series actor Emmy Award. He's amazed to be mentioned in the category, where he's up against Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ed O'Neill, Eric Stonestreet and Jon Cryer.

He doesn't think he'll win, so isn't planning on writing an acceptance speech before Sunday's ceremony. Even if he did the 21-year-old thinks he'd be too shell shocked to read it.

"It is such an adrenaline rush. It feels like you're going on a thousand roller coasters at once. Even if I wrote something, I couldn't imagine functionally getting that paper out of my pocket, out of my lapel and recite something," he laughed. "Everything is such a blur. So I don't like preparing anything beforehand. If I get up there and can speak, hopefully I thank the right people."

Chris' Glee co-star Jane Lynch is hosting the ceremony, which is being held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. (C) Cover Media
