Don’t feel too bad for the actors who don’t walk away winners on Oscar night — as they’ll walk away with a seriously swanky gift bag valued at a whopping $350,000.
While March 15 marks the 98th ceremony for the Academy Awards, it will be the 24th year that select nominees receive an iconic collection of gifts — aptly coined “Everybody Wins” bags — which include top-notch beauty products and treatments, luxury vacations, innovative wellness products and even opportunities to give back.
Curated by L.A.-based entertainment marketing company Distinctive Assets, the ultra-chic cornucopia of favors is handed out to the top A-listers (think Emma Stone, Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Hudson and Michael B. Jordan), as well as a few first-time nominees.
Since these party favors are not technically associated with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences — which gave up the tradition of official gift bags for Oscar winners many moons ago — Distinctive Assets goes all out on the luxe factor, showering their favorite actors with an astounding range of products and experiences.
Here are some of the goodies that will be included in the “Everybody Wins” gift bags.
Travel
Not that these actors couldn’t afford a lush vacay themselves, but who doesn’t love a free trip? Celebs will have the opportunity to stay in a $9 million private villa in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica at the Essence of Dreams Luxury Private Villa, complete with a concierge, chef and driver. The residence includes a stunning 360-degree view of four volcanoes, sweeping mountain ranges and the deep blue Pacific Ocean.
The elite group will also have the option of staying at the Luxury Arctic villa in Finnish Lapland with Northern Lights viewing and a private chef. Swanky, huh?
