The Oscars goodie bag being offered to nominees is worth an obscene amount, but accepting could actually take money out of the actors’ pockets via the federal government.
This year’s Oscar nominees have nearly $140,000 in gifts at their fingertips — but before they claim their loot… they might wanna consider Uncle Sam, who’ll want his cut. Every year, actors who get a nod from the Academy are also afforded a sweet goodie bag that’s worth a bundle — and this year is no different, with marketing company Distinctive Assets offering up a ton of prizes that, if claimed in full, are valued at $137k and change. For the 20th year, marketing firm Distinctive Assets is independently presenting the top acting and directing #Oscar nominees with a gift bag worth $138,000 pic.twitter.com/NHDHWEgwEq The gifts up for grabs include everything from an all-expenses-paid trip to Scotland with a 3-night stay at a fancy castle ($50k), free construction for a home renovation ($25k), a comped 4-night visit to a luxury spa resort ($15k), a plot of land in the U.
