Oscar Losers Will Score Big With $55,000 Swag Bag, Especially in the Beauty Department
Those that don't go home with an Oscar statue will have a swag bag worth $55,000 as a consolation prize.
"We always look forward to introducing celebrities to an array of companies with fabulous gifts to share," said Lash Fary of marketing firm Distinctive Assets. "But it's particularly fun to be able to do so when you know it will truly brighten someone's day. Even Hollywood's most acclaimed starts are disappointed over this particular loss, and when our consolation gift shows up the next day we like to think it's a welcome distraction."
Other than watches, shoes, and teas, the actors will score big in the beauty department.
