Why it pays to be an Oscar nominee rediff Entertainment Bureau | February 17, 2004 15:17 IST Last Updated: February 17, 2004 16:47 IST
You would be absolutely right. And if you are an Oscar nominee, life couldn't get better. Not only do you win the gold statuette, but this year, it is a haul for the acting category nominees, says USA Today. Get a load of this: each nominee gets a Manolo Blahnik leather overnight bag with matching suede sandals, a Hermes cashmere shawl, a bottle of Veuve Clicquot champagne and a pair of Baccarat crystal earrings. All this is courtesy Estee Lauder. There's more. The Best Actress nominees will get a jewelled pink bra-and-panty set from Victoria's Secret worth $7,000. Variety reports that the Best Actor Director and Picture nominees will walk away with gift vouchers that include an all-expenses paid trip to Las Vegas's Caesar's Palace, a coupon for laser eye surgery, and gold accented Havaianas flip flops.
