It’s nearly time for the Oscars 2022, the starriest of star-studded nights for Hollywood’s crème de la crème.
Every year, there are certain things that we just can’t get enough of with the Oscars—the fashion, the controversial moments that we still talk about now, and the schadenfreude that comes from watching an acting superstar hide their disappointment when somebody else scoops the award.
However satisfying it might feel to try and spot forced smiles of the rich and famous, it turns out that no nominee goes home empty-handed after all.
Set your reminder for the 94th #Oscars - airing LIVE at 8e/5p on @ABCNetwork! https://t.co/ioQNPcKpVjMarch 24, 2022
Luxury brand Distinctive Assets hand out gift bags to every award nominee. These bags have, rather aptly, been dubbed “Everyone Wins” bags and when you see what’s included in them, it’s easy to see why.
What’s inside the Oscars gift bags?
2022 looks to be another stellar year for Oscar nominees.
Every nominee this year will be treated to a whole host of gifts and experiences.
Recipients will receive—
- gold-infused extra virgin olive oil from Ariti
- access to a Celebrity Arms Sculpting plastic surgery procedure by Art Lipo
- a trio of games from Exploding Kittens
- a four-night stay for two at the Golden Door luxury spa
- Opopop's signature flavor-wrapped popcorn kernels
- anti-aging supplements from spermidineLIFE by Longevity Labs
- an all-inclusive stay at Turin Castle in Scotland
- Elixinol sleep gummies
- project management for their next renovation or construction project by Maison Construction
- Tangle Teezer’s The Ultimate Detangler hairbrush
- a spiritual connection coaching session from Self Love with Nicola
If that wasn’t enough, acting royalty will get a real honorary title too. Each Oscar nominee will receive plots of land in Scotland officially dubbing them either Lord or Lady of Glencoe.
Not bad if they get to take home a gold statuette, too.
How much are the Oscars gift bags worth?
Though the full range of gifts for 2022 nominees isn’t known yet, Forbes estimated that the gift bags last year totaled a value of around $205,000.
Founder of Distinctive Assets Lash Fary said in a statement about this year’s gift bag, “While this gift bag does, as always, have an impressive value, that is neither our focus nor goal. A great gift has nothing to do with a price tag.
“This year’s nominee package is particularly meaningful as we pay tribute to a milestone anniversary and also celebrate the resilience of all involved after the challenges of the past two years.
“Despite perpetual bad news globally, it’s also an important form of self-preservation and self-care to carve out a little room for the fun, festive, and fabulous.”
The nominees who will get to take home this year’s gifts include Dame Judi Dench, Jessica Chastain, Denzel Washington, Olivia Colman, Penélope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Andrew Garfield, Will Smith, Kristen Stewart, and Benedict Cumberbatch.
The 94th Academy Awards will take place at the Dolby Theatre at the Hollywood & Highland Center on March 27.
ABC will be broadcasting the ceremony, hosted by Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes.
