To quote Mandy Ling from Crazy Rich Asians, "No one loves free stuff more than rich people." Though A-list Hollywood celebrities aren't necessarily billionaires, most of them are naturally loaded. Still, at the Oscars 2024, The Academy made sure that everyone comes home a winner even when you're just a nominee.
The 2024 Oscars Gift Bag Is Worth P10 Million
In a report by the Wall Street Journal, this year's swag bag courtesy of Distinctive Assets amounts to roughly $178,410 or approximately P9,916,000—which is close to almost 10 million pesos! You may ask, "What's in that giveaway bag to cost that much?" Most definitely not your typical kind of boxed chocolates or flowers.
What's Inside the 2024 Oscars Gift Bag and Who Gets to Take One Home?
For the best that Hollywood has to offer, Distinctive Assets made sure to collate experiences and items that only winners deserve (whether or not the celeb goes home with an Oscar.) One of the inclusions is a three-night stay at the luxury resort Chalet Zermatt Peak in Switzerland worth $50,000 (approximately valued at P2,779,000), $500 or P27,790 worth of roses, a $2,349 or P130,557.42 24-inch wine fridge, and even a home renovation voucher ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 or roughly P555,800 to P1,389,500!
According to Lash Fary, founder of Distinctive Assets, who has been serving swag bags since 1999 to big-time award shows like the Grammys and the Oscars, it's easy to pull brands in and be part of the experience since it gives them direct exposure to these world-famous names.
But take note: Only the nominees and the show's host get to take home these goodie bags! But don't feel bad for the plus ones! With a gift bag this extravagant, who wouldn't want to share even just a voucher or two?
Be sure to catch the Oscars live on Disney+, and may the odds be ever in the favor of your favorite nominees!
