Oscar nominees are now Lord of Lady
All Oscar-nominated actors and actresses have received a goodie bag worth USD 140,000 this year. The nominees in the best director category also received a bag containing an expensive holiday, golden chocolates and a piece of land in Scotland.
Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Judi Dench and Steven Spielberg received the bags during the Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday night. A total of 25 nominees received such a bag.

In addition to the golden chocolates, there is also an olive oil with gold leaf and a whole load of multivitamins.
