"What’s in the $80,000 Oscars 2015 swag bag? – “Everyone Wins at the Oscars”

Don’t worry about your favorite  Oscar losers. They may not have won the most prestigious award in Hollywood, but look at this way: they get a ton of gifts. The Oscar swag bags are given only to the nominees within the categories of Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Director.

For the past 14 years, Los Angeles based marketing company, Distinctive Assets has been handling the composition and delivery of the Oscar swag bags. Founder Lash Fary gives fans a televised sneak peek of what the bags contain before the show begins each year. Lash calls the bags “Everyone Wins at the Oscars” consolation prize bags, and says they’re meant to take the edge off of the disappointment felt by the nominees who don’t win.

 

Here are more of the items in this year’s Oscar bags:

$2,560 home spa system
$280 portable camera from Narrative Clip

That's some seriously weird stuff!

and it's all tax-deductible, meaning the only people who can actually afford to have them are the A-listers.

I'd like to see the Brits trying to get the Mace back through customs.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

I would be so disappointed if they told me I was getting an $80k gift bag and the only good things in it were a few posh lollipops and some maple syrup.

Train trip in the Rockies, thats what I want from the bag. Dibs on that.

Hair weave please...

Apart from seeing the headline of Eddie Redmayne winning best actor I've not seen anything else but I'll attempt a review.
Ar**s were kissed, backs were slapped. Somebody thanked everyone who ever lived but forgot their mother whilst theatrically moping away floods of tears and somebody got waaaay too drunk and is spending the day apologising.

Yeh, I think that'll about cover it.

Don't think I've ever been less interested in an Oscars ceremony. Well done to those who won, but I've got bills to pay that one of those statuettes could sort out nicely

Writer`s Release

I watched the Oscars once, and couldn't believe how slow it moved along, how long it dragged on, and how uninteresting as a spectacle it was.
