Ten additional memberships for recipients to share with loved ones.

Who Receives the Oscars Gift Bag?

Not every nominee receives this lavish package. Distinctive Assets, an independent marketing company not affiliated with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, carefully selects its recipients.

Only the 20 nominees in the acting categories—including Timothée Chalamet, Colman Domingo, Demi Moore, Karla Sofía Gascón, Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Strong, Zoe Saldaña, and Ariana Grande—along with the five Best Director nominees and Oscars host Conan O’Brien will receive the exclusive gift bag.

The priciest item in the 2025 Oscars gift bag is a $50,000 offering from Maison Construction. Nominees will receive complimentary project management services to aid in rebuilding efforts, along with a 50% discount on construction services. This exclusive gift can be redeemed for personal use or donated to assist wildfire victims in their recovery.

A Celebrity-Worthy Selection

Distinctive Assets founder Lash Fary shared his philosophy behind the gift bag, stating, “My goal when I’m building this bag is that I go, ‘There’s some cool s–t here that I would love to get if I were a celebrity.’”

With a mix of extravagance, wellness, and philanthropy, the 2025 Oscars gift bag continues to be one of Hollywood’s most highly anticipated perks, adding an extra layer of excitement to the biggest night in film.
