The 98th Academy Awards are nearly here, which means we get to be nosy / jealous / indignant about this year’s celebrity swag bags.
Whether you win or lose at the Oscars, no one goes home empty-handed as a lavish goodie bag is given to the acting and directing nominees.
As if A-listers needed more stuff…
But Hollywood’s gonna Hollywood, and this year’s consolation gift bags are reportedly worth $350,000. Each.
Once again, and for the 24th year running, LA-based entertainment marketing company Distinctive Assets is independently producing the “Everyone Wins” nominee swag bags, this year handed out to the likes of Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael B. Jordan, Jessie Buckley, Jacob Elordi, Teyana Taylor, Chloé Zhao, Paul Thomas Anderson, Ryan Coogler, and more.
So, what’s in this year’s indulgent party bag?
Well, so much that listing everything here would intensify Marxist thoughts and make us want to start storming the barricades while chanting The Internationale.
