What’s inside the 6-figure Oscars gift bags?

Awards season is ending with the 95th Academy Awards, aka the Oscars, airing on Sunday, March 12. If you like to watch for glamorous celebrity outfits, awkward moments and over-the-top speeches, you may want to know all the juicy details about the six-figure swag bag select nominees receive.

It’s called the “Everyone Wins” gift bag, and L.A.-based entertainment marketing company Distinctive Assets gifts ir to acting and directing nominees. That means people like Austin Butler, Ana de Armas, Angela Bassett, Cate Blanchett, Colin Farrell and Steven Spielberg will receive one of these babies, even if they don’t go home with a golden statue at the end of the night.

Of course, this gift bag is bougie — it’s worth a whopping six figures. Some of the highest ticket (and most amazing) items include:

Three nights for the nominee and up to seven friends in the newly renovated Faro Punta Imperatore Lighthouse in Ischia, Italy

Three nights at The Lifestyle, an ultra-modern, ultra-private 10-acre estate in rural Ottawa, Canada

A curated gift set of gourmet, hand-harvested dates from Bateel’s organic farm in the Al Ghat region of Saudi Arabia

A plot of land in Australia to contribute to conservation and reforestation efforts around the country via Pieces of Australia

Luxury skin care brand Miage’s full line of products

A sample of Vegan Retinol from luxury Canadian skin care brand ēcōMD

Havaianas iconic flip-flops and new colorful luggage

Additionally, the gift bag includes products by brands that embrace diversity, inclusion and philanthropy in the beauty, food and entertainment categories. (You can read the full list here.)

“We are excited and proud to once again be creating what is known worldwide as the ultimate swag bag,” Lash Fary, founder of Distinctive Assets, said in a press release. “While our gifts may be famous for being fun, fabulous, useful and unique, they also serve a grander purpose. Most of the brands we include are from a diverse and inclusive array of small businesses who meaningfully benefit from the global exposure that being associated with Hollywood’s Biggest Night affords them. This is celebrity marketing with a mission.”

They also get a1099–those “gifts” are taxable as ordinary income

This is why I couldn’t get exercised about Reba’s makeup budget.

I have seen them in the past. Usually iPhones, Ipads. Expensive perfume or cologne. Always some overpriced chocolates. Gift cards, trips, cruises. Go pros are pretty common. Take that six-figure number with a grain of salt. A lot of it is MSRP shit no one would really pay for. Most of the time Stars bring their relatives to go shopping in the gift suites.

Do they have something against household appliances?

Meh. I'll take the Oscar instead.

I would love the trip to Ottawa and Italy.

The plot of land sounds nice, but it's not really yours.

It’s “unofficial, “ correct? As not directly authorized by the Academy? Or something else

There should be an Oscar statuette in Andrea Riseborough's swag bag.

Companies used to pay big $$ to get into these bags so its nice they are throwing in some products from small businesses and giving them exposure.

A lot of the value in these comes from items like the vacations, plastic surgery, etc. Stuff nobody uses and can't give away to someone else or regift

I'd bet you probably get to pick what you accept so you dont have to pay taxes on a vacation you don't want that nobody actually takes them up on.

The thought of someone like Cate Blanchett getting 100k worth of free shit is so gross. I hate nose-pressed-against-the-glass articles like this. Money as a spectator sport.

Such an unusual post. All the rest are multi millionaires if not richer but as wealthy as Cate. Odd that you singled her out

Some auction them off for charity.

This reminds me of the Soprano episode where Christoper Moltisanti, reading about similar gift bags, lays in wait at night for Lauren Bacall as she is walking out from the event with her gift bag. He grabs it. When she fights back, he slugs her, takes it and runs off.

You know Lisa Marie wanted to be Austin's date, so she could get one of those.

This is why I was so happy when COVID changed my perception of celebrity. None of these people deserve this shit.

True that. Seeing th actresses au natural on zoom made you realize how average a lot of these women are without makeup, cosmetic procedures and lighting.

Especially the face cream.

With your under eye bags and your sagging skin, you'll need seven figures worth of face cream to fix your face.

Call it sour grapes, but I’d be scared to go to some remote ”resort” in Canada called “The Lifestyle”… it sounds like a cult brainwashing center.

Hahaha. That’s cute.
