Inside the $321,000 gift bag given at the Oscars to top actor nominees
The 2026 Academy Awards is officially on its way, and while all of the Oscar nominees are competing for gold, a lucky few of them can rest assured they'll at least walk away with something - namely, a luxurious gift bag worth $321,000.
Some of the stars up for Oscars this year include Best Actor and Actress nominees Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothée Chalamet, Emma Stone and Michael B. Jordan, who scored a surprise win at the Actor's Awards earlier this month.
But these particular nominees won't only have the chance to walk away with a shiny award. On their way out, each will be handed an 'Everyone Wins' gift bag filled with treats galore, from luxury beauty products to glamorous getaways, and even a voucher for a liposuction treatment.

The bags, which are not directly associated with the Oscars, are an annual luxury awarded to top acting and directing nominees by the marketing firm Distinctive Assets.
The annual party bags are renowned for containing some of the most luxurious trinkets, experiences, and vacations, with around 25 lucky receivers bagging one on their way out.
Last year's goodie bag contained $215,000 worth of treats, including $500 worth of skincare, a $25,000 Ancestry VIP Family History Experience, and a four-night stay in the Maldives worth a whopping $23,500. So, what's in store this year?

Essence of Dreams Private Luxury Villa
Oscar winners with the gift bag will gain access to a $9 million private villa nestled on top of a mountain in Playa Hermosa in Costa Rica. They will be treated to stunning 360-degree views of four volcanoes, mountain ranges, and a glistening view of the Pacific Ocean below.
The property has seven suites and can accommodate up to 18 guests. It also includes a team of staff, including a concierge, chef, bartender, private driver, and housekeepers.
Hideout Villas

Alongside stunning views, the private villa in Finnish Lapland also includes a personal chef, a VIP driver, and curated wilderness adventures.
Can Nemo
On top of the already glittering array of holiday experiences, those with the gift bag are also being gifted a stay at one of Ibiza's most iconic villas. Alongside breathtaking views, they will also see an abundance of amenities, including a full-service team.
Hosting up to 16 guests, the independently owned villa takes a 'conscious approach' to hospitality, with solar energy and organic produce provided.

The list goes on...
These are just a few of the incredible gifts included in the bag, with other goodies including Asia Luggage, the viral HydroJug Traveler, a gift set from luxury cannabis brand Beboe - branded the 'Hermès of Marijuàna', a BENU fountain pen, and a seven-day retreat at the Golden Door California.
Commenting on the impressive haul, Lash Fary, founder of Distinctive Assets, said: "Our extraordinary nominee gifts are in no way based on need. We are acknowledging
these amazing nominees while elevating and showcasing small businesses, minorityowned brands, female entrepreneurs and companies that give back at a time when
everyone can use a little more fun and frivolity.”
