It’s that time of the year again. Oscar night is this Sunday, and indie favorite Everything Everywhere All at Once is facing off against blockbuster hit Top Gun: Maverick. Although the winners will take home the iconic gold-plated statuette, all 26 of the nominees, including Michelle Yeoh, Austin Butler and Ana de Armas, will get a lavish gift bag.
These aren’t just regular party favors. In 2023, nominees got an “Everyone Wins” hamper with items totalling $126,000. They ranged from $5 for coconut water, all the way to $40,000 Canadian getaway.
The gift bags are created by Distinctive Assets, a Los Angeles-based marketing company, which has curated a hamper since 2002. It also creates swanky bags for award shows like the Grammys and Tonys. This year's gift bag is certainly luxurious, but it's still worth about 10% less than last year's, which was valued at over $137,000.
This year’s gift bag covers everything from retail to real estate, and includes an Italian getaway, fresh Japanese bread, cosmetic surgery vouchers, and a plot of land in Australia. Here’s a look at some of the items:
