The bizarre items inside the Oscars nominees’ six-figure swag bags

There’s just a few days to go until this year’s Oscars and aside from the chatter about the outfits that will be wafting down the red carpet, buzz is building about what’s inside the famously fabulous goody bags.

And this year they’re bigger and better, and also more bizarre than ever.

As if getting the opportunity to have the famous golden statue grace their mantle piece wasn’t enough, nominees will also receive an exclusive gift bag that includes luxurious holidays, on-trend jewellery, personal training sessions and all the make-up and beauty products they could ever need.

Plus there, are a few more unusual gifts that could well see the acceptance speeches tip the bizarre balance.

Yep, in amongst the haircare and health products are some hand-made chocolate truffles infused with cannabis – er, interesting.

Other quirky gifts of note in this year’s bags include private ‘phobia relief’ sessions and a Mister Poop emoji toilet plunger, because even Oscar nominees need to clean their toilet!

California recently legalised the drug for recreational use. So if nominees feel like calming their jitters during the ceremony, they can do so without fear of arrest.

And that’s not the only place the drug features as bags also contain a cannabis-infused facial moisturiser, and free membership of the first cannabis-friendly social club in Los Angeles. Oo er.

The swag bags, dubbed “Everyone Wins”, are not actually affiliated with the Oscars themselves, but are distributed to nominees each year by Los Angeles-based marketing agency Distinctive Assets.

Though the agency hasn’t specified the exact cost of the bags, merely describing them as “six-figure swag bag” CNBC has anticipated the contents add up to more than $100,000 (approx $140,000 AUD).

Bags will be given to the 25 nominees in acting and directing and this year’s recipients of the swag bags will include Lady Gaga, Christian Bale, Mahershala Ali, Spike Lee, Rami Malek and Bradley Cooper.

High-end treats include a week at the Golden Door wellness retreat in California, an organic field-to-table dinner for two at Flora Farms in Los Cabos, Mexico, a stay at the exclusive Greek resort Avaton Luxury Villas and an Amazon cruise.

Commenting on the contents of the bag Distinctive Assets founder Lash Fary explained that the aim is not to impress with their value, but to celebrate the talents of nominees and reward them with “fun and festive” gifts.

“While this gift bag does always boast an impressive value, that is never our goal,” he says. “A great gift has nothing to do with the cost.

“We understand the interest in the ‘wow’ number associated with this now-legendary gift bag but we prefer to simply celebrate the fun and festive nature of the contents … no matter how big or small.”
