What’s In This Year’s Oscar Gift Bags
This year’s Oscar goodie bags include plots of land in Scotland that make recipients actual Lords and Ladies of Glencoe. These gifts are actually not affiliated with the Oscars. The Academy stopped giving out gifts years ago. But a company called Distinctive Assets, which has nothing to do with the Oscars, kind of took over by giving out “Everyone Wins” gift bags to 25 of the top acting and directing nominees.
This year’s bag is worth “six figures,” whatever that means. And here are some of the gifts it contains:
1. Plots of land in Scotland from a company called Highland Titles . . . which make recipients actual Lords and Ladies of Glencoe.
2. An all-inclusive stay at Turin Castle in Scotland.
3. Gold-flaked olive oil from Ariti.
4. Facial rejuvenation procedures from Dr. Konstantin Vasyukevich.
5. Art Lipo body enhancements.
