This was Hollywood’s biggest night. It was the culmination of a series of events leading up to this and everyone is holding their breath to find out who wins or loses. Yet for the major nominees who don’t get to take home the little golden man, there is the salve of the amazing Distinctive Assets Gift bag.
It’s all in the SWAG. Distinctive Assets’ annual Everyone Wins at the Oscars Nominee Gift Bag was created ten years ago to soften the blow of the post-Oscar-loss-blues. Judging by the response from Hugh Jackman, Meryl Streep, Angela Bassett, Dame Helen Mirren, Ron Howard and Jeremy Renner, it has been working! Even if this year’s nominees Michelle Williams, Meryl Streep and George Clooney don’t win an Oscar, they can at least cross “elephant back safari” off their bucket list thanks to the $15,000 nominee gift provided by Premier Tours.
In addition to the fabulous safari, this year’s nominee gift bag is once again an eclectic fusion of fun, fabulous and functional items meant to titillate and indulge those who may have everything but still relish receiving a present. The 2012 Everyone Wins at the Oscars Nominee Gift Bag is valued in excess of $70,000 and includes:
DISARONNO…………………………………………………………….$75.00
