The year’s biggest, most-anticipated night is finally here. The Academy Awards will be held on Sunday, March 10th. So let’s delve down to know what’s inside the exclusive Oscar 2024 gift bag this year.
The Oscars gift bags are packed with goodies this year to make the nominees feel pampered and happy. Lash Fary, the person behind Distinctive Assets, has taken charge of doing this for 22 years. He calls it “Everyone Wins.” It’s important to note that these gift bags are not part of the official Oscars ceremony – they’re separate. Lash gets to choose who receives them, and it’s usually the top actors and directors. This year there are 25 of them. Lash and his team get to pick what goes into these bags. And let us tell you, the items they’ve selected this year are fantastic.
The cost of gift bags is over $170,000 (about Rs 1.40 crore), with almost 60 items inside. The priciest gift this year is a $50,000 (around Rs 41 lakh) trip to Chalet Zermatt Peak in the Swiss Alps. This vacation package is all-inclusive, meaning everything is covered. The nominees can even bring along nine friends to enjoy the entire chalet, which has six floors and five suites. It’s truly an incredible vacation opportunity for them!
Companies need to pay to have their products featured in the gift bags, but it’s worth it because the exposure to top celebrities can be really valuable. Lash Fary explained that these stars are incredibly famous, and their endorsement can boost the reputation of the products. This year’s gift bags also contain fun stuff like movie-themed candy from Fetcha Chocolates, products to help with sleep from Helight and Wesper, and even a Rubik’s Cube. There are also beauty products, gourmet popcorn, Kate Brown pillows, and more. So, it’s not just about the big-ticket items; there’s a variety of things for the nominees to enjoy!
