Hollywood is in flux, but how will these turbulent times affect nominees’ haul of free swag?
Last year, the Oscars’ gift bag featured a $40,000, 12-day trip to Tanzania. This year? An all-inclusive £350 package holiday to Lanzarote for the whole family. In order to avoid any backlash from the general cinema-ticket-buying public who might resent this degree of opulence popping up on their Instagram feed during a period of global instability, A-listers have to show the normals they’re just like them. This gift also gives actors a chance to audition for that Bad Moms 3 part by wrestling with a pram on a packed easyJet flight, dealing with screaming toddler meltdowns at the breakfast buffet and hashtagging #momlife as their husband eyes up the holiday rep from a sunbed by the pool they had to get up at 5am to reserve.
