Oscar Nominee Gift Bag Worth $200,000 Includes Luxury Trips, Cannabis, and More

While many huge stars walked home from the 97th Academy Awards without a statue to call their own, not all walked home empty-handed.

As reported by CNBC, top Oscar nominees received a gift bag valued at over $220,000, courtesy of Los Angeles marketing agency Distinctive Assets. The bag was not affiliated with the Academy Awards but has been a tradition for 23 years running. The bag was delivered to nominees in Nomatic luggage bags and included over 60 gifts for recipients, such as cannabis pre-rolls and a stay at a luxury Maldives resort estimated to be worth $23,000.

Titled the "Everybody Wins" bag, there's a wide variety of goodies that are both fun (weed) and practical (project management services). Other items include a $5,2000 stay at the Cotton House Hotel in Barcelona, luxury pocket squares from Daniel Ashley co., skincare products from INSTYTUTUM, a $3,5000 virtual wellness retreat, a $25,000 AncestryDNA VIP Family History Experience, and merch from Alamo Drafthouse Cinema inspired by iconic movies. Recipients also got a one-year membership to Bright Harbor disaster recovery support, in the wake of the devastating fires in Los Angeles.

Not all of the nominees received the bag, though. Only those nominated in the four Best Actor and Best Actress categories received it, as well as all the Best Director nominees and host Conan O'Brien. So that means actors such as Timothée Chalamet, Adrien Brody, Zoe Saldaña, Kieran Culkin, Isabella Rossellini, Demi Moore, Mikey Madison, Cynthia Erivo, and Colman Domingo walked away with the bag.

Sean Baker's Anora, starring Mikey Madison, was the big winner at the Oscars last night, picking up a total of five awards including Best Director, Best Actress, Best Picture, and Best Original Screenplay. The Brutalist also picked up three awards, while Dune: Part Two, Emilia Pérez, and Wicked got two awards each.
