I'm curious to why just Israel.

To fulfill the prophecy.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I think you guys are dramatically overestimating the dignity of your heroes and heroines. It's free stuff even if 1/5th of it is absurd nonsense.

 

[spazchicken]

If these people wanted any of that stuff they would have had it many times already.

I wish teachers got pampered or even recognized half as good as modern day royalty.

 

[Grover]

So no matter what Leo is guaranteed not to leave empty handed.

or empty creviced

They'll get apples and they'll like it!

The Oscar gift bags are the stuff of legend.

That is an amazing percentage of the gift bag going to reinforce the notion that women need to look a certain way to have value, by the way. I would not be pleased if I were a female nominee, I don't think.

 

[neurosisxeno]

This doesn't come off as pretentious and out of touch at all.

 

[Syriel]

Wasn't there a big hub bub a couple years ago over this exact thing?

Oh it was an IRS thing

These gift bags must just get so annoying for them.

Another gift bag.

They can turn down anything they don't want (and many do) because of the taxes.

Why take something you don't care about (and will likely never use) if you're going to be stuck paying the highest possible income tax rate on it?

 

[navii]

those walkers better carry me around Japan for that price

 

[CloudWolf]

Some of those gifts are super weird.

 

[RagingPhoenix]

Were those gift bags' contents recommended by Ricky Gervais?

 

[LumpOfCole]

Fun Fact: I'm visiting Beirut at the moment and learned that, if you take that 10 day trip to Israel, you can't go into Lebanon at all. It's basically the one passport stamp on Lebanon's "Nope" list.

nobody pays $20 to watch a teacher do their job.

To fulfill the prophecy.

Does it include old school wrath of god-type prophecy?

 

[orochi91]

A 10-day, first-class trip to Israel ($55,000)

Interesting choice...

 

[Gudetama]

The website for the vampire boob job is scarily unprofessional.

Also, at the bottom they link you to their identical procedure which you can also have done on your vagina, but in that case they call it the "o shot." Which I guess is slightly less horrifying than pairing "vampire" and "vagina" in a procedure name.

 

[B33]

nobody pays $20 to watch a teacher do their job.

Only if it's an actor portraying a teacher.

 

[xxracerxx]

Interesting choice...

What do you think about the Japan trip?

 

[orochi91]

What do you think about the Japan trip?

An acceptable choice, especially since they aren't currently illegally occupying another country, oppressing its people and etc.

Seriously, I'd like to know which Zionist group pulled favours to have a trip to Israel be included in that package.

 

[striferser]

Vampire breast lift?????

 

[Loxley]

Hollywood is weird.

 

[wenis]

I'll take that Japan trip if none of them can make it. They're all busy I'm sure. Doing important stuff.

 

[liquidtmd]

I know if I was rich it wouldn't matter but I'd rather have a gift bag of $200K worth of video games.

Always have to expand that backlog.

I'd make a wish for the same and to be an actor in another life, but knowing my luck I'd probably end up under contract to Warner Bros and theyd just give me premium MK X and Arkham Knight on PC only

 

[brandonh83]

I Google image searched vampire breast lift. While I have no regrets in doing so, I saw nothing particularly special about it.

 

[The Incarnation]

Clearly.

Every other award is just filler for the Oscars.




I'm curious to why just Israel.

Something to do with wanting to improve its image abroad.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

soon...

Winner.

 

[Einchy]

Hopefully Leo will be able to put an Oscar next to his shelf full of giftbag sex toys.

 

[Bold One]

Breast lifs
Sex Toys
Israel


if you add up all the costs of these gift bags you could send a few million to a good charity

I doubt a bunch of boob-lifted celebs are going to help.

 

[Enco]

:lol at the ticket to Israel.

 

[AstroLad]

ehhhhhh that's a pretty inflated price when you consider those are services that almost no one will use, likely being valued at whatever "full price" the offeror designates

 

[dogstar]

• A 15-day walking tour of Japan ($45,000)

That sounds very nice, though I wonder how on earth its worth $45,000.

The rest can go in the bin.

First class airplane tickets and 5-star hotels with all meals included for 3/4 people?

Found this on reddit of all the noms...

 

[Alex Stroud]

Nice, they all worked really hard for that stuff.

 

[FortuneFaded]

 

[Lilith]

Hey, you're all rich, popular

Spoiler

white

people. What we really think you need is 200k worth of free stuff.

fml

Yup.
-.-
I have nothing against gratification for doing your job, but it seems money accumulates from itself once you're wealthy.

Edit: I'd take the Japan tour!

I always find these sort of things grotesque.

 

[neorej]

I'm curious about that $250 sex toy

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

nobody pays $20 to watch a teacher do their job.

You obviously haven't watched school of Rock.

 

[SteveO409]

the bash on white people is real

 

[ClosingADoor]

It's advertisement. Getting upset about this is the same as getting upset about a $10 million Super Bowl spot companies buy.

I doubt half of it even gets used, so the actual cost is lower also.

 

[Amalthea]

Something I wondered about Hollywood films was if there isn't some huge embezzlement of movie budgets going on. I mean some movies look like made for TV but cost almost 200 mil.

 

[neorej]

You obviously haven't watched school of Rock.

Neither have you, Dewey wasn't doing his job in that movie.

 

[Forkball]

I wish tuition was as cheap as a movie ticket.

The blonde lady on the left didn't look at the camera.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Hell yeah, Abel. Get yours. I bet he's already imagining the vampire titty lifts.

Still kind of nuts he's the only black nominee though.

 

[Shuggananas]

Does the israel 10 days trip include firing rockets at palestinians ? Sounds like a blast
