EVERYONE WINS ON HOLLYWOOD’S BIGGEST NIGHT WITH DISTINCTIVE ASSETS’ LEGENDARY NOMINEE GIFT BAGS

EVERYONE WINS ON HOLLYWOOD’S BIGGEST NIGHT WITH DISTINCTIVE ASSETS’ LEGENDARY NOMINEE GIFT BAGS 1 As awards season approaches its exciting climax in Tinseltown, Distinctive Assets will once again indulge and titillate the major Oscar® nominees with its annual “Everyone Wins” Nominee Gift Bags which have become the most buzzed about swag in history.

As awards season approaches its exciting climax in Tinseltown, Distinctive Assets will once again indulge and titillate the major Oscar® nominees with its annual “Everyone Wins” Nominee Gift Bags which have become the most buzzed about swag in history.

The “Everyone Wins” Nominee Gift Bags have been independently produced by Distinctive Assets for the past 15 years. They will once again be delivered to nominees in the Best Actor + Actress, Best Supporting Actor + Actress and Best Director categories. They are NOT handed out at the ceremony but rather conveniently delivered to nominees in the week leading up to the show and in some cases the week after. The “Everyone Wins” Gift Bag is, as always, a blend of fabulous, fun, quirky and indulgent items meant to thrill and pamper those who may have everything money can buy but still savor the simple joy of a gift. While this gift bag does have an impressive six-figure value again this year, that value is nowhere close to the inaccurate reports that hit the internet this week. “Our goal is not to increase the value each year,” says Distinctive Assets founder Lash Fary. “A great gift has nothing to do with the price tag, and we are desperately trying to move the conversation away from that point . . . especially when outlets simply make up alternative values to suit a headline.”
