Reese Witherspoon lets her daughter use her awards for toys.

The stunning actress - who has scooped a clutch of accolades for her performance in Johnny Cash biopic 'Walk The Line' - says six-year-old Ava loves playing with her gongs.

The star - who also has a son, Deacon, 2, with husband Ryan Philippe, said: "My daughter Ava sneaks them off to her room and dresses them up.

"She's becoming quite jaded about the whole thing. When I come home from an awards show now, it's, 'Well, did you get it?'"

Earlier this month, Reese admitted she slept through her Oscar nomination.

The actress was so jetlagged she passed out before she could find out the news.

The 29-year-old said: "I was in Berlin and I was asleep because I was jetlagged. I'd fallen asleep on some couch and my publicist came in screaming. I thought I was having a dream and it was my daughter!"

"So they woke me up and told me and I was very excited. I called my mother and my husband."
