24 nominees X $215,000 = $5,160,000.

“...Everyone from Saorise Ronan to Bong Joon Ho will leave with a bag full of all kinds of treats, collectively valued at nearly $215,000, including a 12-day yacht vacation valued at about $80,000. Distinctive Assets founder Lash Fary told Forbes that the gifts hardly fit in a single gift bag, and are instead delivered to nominees in a number of suitcases over the course of a few weeks preceding award night.
The “bag” also includes a bottle of hand-crafted white absinthe, CBD simple syrup, hydrogen-infused water, and an assortment of French macarons. On the more extravagant end, the nominees will receive a bath bomb with 24 karat gold and hyaluronic acid and an amethyst crystal as well as a stay at the Faro Cumplida lighthouse in Spain’s Canary Islands, and at-home cannabis-infused chocolate tasting for eight adults. But the bag also includes a bottle of Rita Ora’s Próspero Tequila, two Exploding Kittens-Exploding Kittens and Throw Throw Burrito games, and a Pepperidge Farm Dark Chocolate Milano two-pack“
..,,And it’s still a rip-off.

Insanity! I happen to know someone who's homeless. To think that all that money spent could've been used to help the less fortunate. With that being said, I wouldn't necessarily trust charities because there are a lot of frauds and scams behind the scenes.

24 nominees X $215,000 = $5,160,000. There are way more than 24 nominees. I assume only the actors, actresses and directors are included? |

Hmmm... Not that they'd want to, but they could trade all that stuff for a reasonably sized house in Texas as an incognito get away...

This would mean that only the nominees in the major categories will receive these gift bags. I wonder whether Joaquin Phoenix will speak out about this when he accepts his inevitable award.

They could make a decent indie film for that amount.

They could make a high budget porno for that amount.

Those gift bags used to offer a free massage from Harvey Weinstein, but I think they eliminated those.

If by some chance the nominee list ever included any of the blue collar workers, such as for Best Best Boy or Best Grip or Best Camera Operator etc. I have no doubt those gift bags would never be offered again. There are those who probably don't think that the real movie makers deserve to have it as good as they do with their free spoiled expensive shit.

The Oscars is nothing but a spoiled rich and greedy self congratulatory sham anyway and this bullshit just further confirms it. Time to wake up, remove the wool from your eyes and to see the Emperor naked.

Seeing at how H.Wood has all this money to just throw around has yet to convince me that video piracy is not a victimless crime. If they really want to convince me that it is, then show us the actors, directors, writers, producers etc in the poor house.

Wasn't Scarlett Johansson nominated twice for two separate categories? Does that mean she gets two of these gift bags? If that's true, then she gets $430,000 for the two bags.
