The Oscars 2025 nominees are in for a special treat. While not all will take home an award, every nominee will leave with a luxurious gift bag valued at six figures. Ahead of the prestigious event, the nominees attended an intimate dinner where some exciting details about the ceremony were shared.
Oscars 2025: A Special Memento for All Nominees
In an interesting move this year, all Oscar nominees have been asked to keep their acceptance speeches short. The Academy President, Janet Yang, announced that each nominee would only have 45 seconds on stage to deliver their speech. While the 45-second rule is meant to encourage brevity and focus, it’s unlikely that winners will be able to wrap up in such a short amount of time. Yang jokingly referred to the restriction as feeling “like a schoolmarm,” but it’s all in an effort to make the ceremony run smoothly.
Despite the time constraint on speeches, one thing is for sure: every nominee will walk away with a unique and extravagant gift bag. This year’s gift bags, curated by Distinctive Assets Legendary, come under the moniker “Everyone Wins.” These bags are designed to be both luxurious and meaningful, giving back to the community while offering high-end gifts to the celebrities.
Who Will Receive the Lavish Gift Bags?
The Oscars 2025 nominees to receive these lavish gift bags include a wide array of stars such as Timothée Chalamet, Demi Moore, Adrian Brody, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Kieran Culkin, among others. Lash Fary, the creator of Distinctive Assets, explained that the firm wanted to elevate small businesses, minority-owned brands, female entrepreneurs, and companies that give back. This year’s gift bags will also serve as a way to support Los Angeles communities affected by the devastating wildfires.
