With the 96th Academy Awards set to take place tonight, the dreamy Oscar trophy isn’t the only prize that nominees will be taking home.
On Sunday (March 10), the 2024 Academy Award will air at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California, with comedian Jimmy Kimmel serving as the evening’s host.
Many of Hollywood’s biggest stars such as Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer), Robert Downey Jr (Oppenheimer), Emma Stone (Poor Things), and Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon) will go head-to-head in the night's biggest categories.
Every prospect wants to walk away from the ceremony with a coveted golden statuette. But for those who aren't lucky enough to win in their category, there still isn't any risk of going home empty-handed.
For over two decades, Los Angeles-based marketing company Distinctive Assets has been delivering top-tier swag bags, and this year they'll be continuing that tradition and gifting all nominees in the Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Director categories with an exclusive "Everyone Wins" package.
Inside the gift bags - which are reportedly worth more than $180,000 - are nearly 60 items, the most valuables being an all-inclusive luxurious Swiss getaway. Each nominee can invite up to nine guests for a three-night stay at the five-star destination, according to The Independent.
They will also receive a seven-day wellness retreat to Golden Door in San Marcos, California, as well as three nights in a private villa at Saint-Barth Paradise in the Caribbean. In addition to this, recipients will be gifted Miage’s five-piece set of skincare products, THOR Kitchen appliances, and 10,000 donated meals from v-dog in support of PETA's Global Compassion Fund.
The blessings don't stop there as nominees will also be provided with Adonis Arcana men’s grooming and skincare products, ultra-premium Antigua Cruz Añejo Cristalino Tequila, AURO WELLNESS Glutaryl topical glutathione, 1MD Nutrition’s LiverMD supplement, and a 45-minute wellness consultation with Dr Nayan Patel.
Furthermore, they'll also be lucky enough to get BlendQuik’s Personal Portable Blender, a BAGCEIT portable purse seat, sustainable upcycled designer pillows from Cate Brown, a private session with magician Carl Reads Minds, a private sound bath session with Kate Schofield, and a home project management from Maison Construction.
Make-up treats will be included as well as vegan chocolate by Fetcha Chocolates, Gin Bothy Scottish gin, and the Deafinitely Divine Glow Kit from deaf-owned luxury bath and body brand Hotsy Totsy Haus.
Distinctive Assets founder Lash Fary put out a press release about the goodie bags, sharing: "We are humbled that our ‘Everyone Wins’ Nominee Gift Bag continues to garner worldwide media attention and spark conversation," per Daily Mail.
"While our gifts may be famous for being fun, fabulous, and unique, they also serve to elevate small businesses, minority-owned brands, female entrepreneurs, and companies who give back. This is celebrity marketing with a mission," they added.
The 2024 Academy Awards will air live on ABC on March 10 at 7PM ET.
