Post Note, February 24, 2013: Don’t feel too bad for the Award losers. The marketing firm Distinctive Assets will hand out theirs traditional swag bags, valued at more than $45,000, to nominees who don’t win.
Bag goodies include trips to Australia, Hawaii and Mexico, personal training sessions, tequila, hand-illustrated tennis shoes, beauty appointments, "portion-controlled" dinnerware, acupuncture and aromatherapy sessions, a voucher for a fitness and weight-loss retreat and one-year membership to Heathrow's VIP service.
Niw when the 'bagless' winners start crying on the Oscar podium, you know why. Hopefully someone will also remember the staff who worked so hard to make the evening possible as well. Can you say, "Tip AND bag, please"?
