Not everyone can take home an Oscar, but thanks to Lash Fary’s Distinctive Assets, 25 lucky nominees in the acting and directing categories won’t be going home empty-handed. The company’s annual “Everyone Wins” gift bags are back, packed with an astonishing array of luxury vacations, pricey products, and high-end services valued at an estimated $350,000 per bag.
While the effort is not affiliated with the Academy, it has become a celebrated tradition, ensuring that even the night’s “losers” receive a lavish consolation prize. This year’s recipients include stars like Michael B. Jordan, Timothée Chalamet, Emma Stone, Jessie Buckley, Teyana Taylor, Rose Byrne, Elle Fanning, and Jacob Elordi.
The Philosophy Behind the Swag
Lash Fary, founder of the L.A.-based entertainment marketing company, is quick to clarify that the gifts are “in no way based on need.” Instead, the goal is pure celebration.
“We are acknowledging these amazing nominees while elevating and showcasing small businesses, minority-owned brands, female entrepreneurs and companies that give back at a time when everyone can use a little more fun and frivolity,” Fary explained.
He calls it “the ultimate consolation prize,” adding, “Win or lose, the nominees have touched our lives with their incredible performances and artistry. This is a small token of our esteem that we hope will be enjoyed and shared.”
