Each gift bag is worth about $180,000.LOS ANGELES --"One of the cool things about doing this independently of the Academy is that I get to decide who gets it, and we only give it to the top 25 acting and directing nominees," said Lash Fary, founder of Distinctive Assets. "I get to decide what's in it.""The Academy doesn't give out gift bags anymore," Fary said. "They stopped like 15 or 20 years ago. I still wanted to do it and in a special way.
There's also something special straight from Philadelphia inside the swag bag this year: skincare products from the Dancera line at Rescue Spa."It just gets rolled up to their door for them to unpack and enjoy," Fary said.Red carpet coverage starts at 1 p.m. ET 10 a.m. PT with"Countdown to Oscars: On The Red Carpet Live." At 4 p.m. ET 1 p.m.
