Tonight is the 77th annual presentation of the
Academy Awards. Those golden Oscars, given
to the best of the best for 2004. While the winners
walk away with the Oscar, those unpaid presenters
and host do get a little something for their efforts.
Enter the Oscar Goodie Bag. Stuffed full of neat-o
things that when added up, total over $100,000.00.
Not bad for a night of shoving your nose into your
fellow actor and Actresses and directors rear ends.
Here is a partial list of the brown nose bag contents…
• A Krups kitchen set. Not just a coffeemaker, either.
This year’s gift includes a toaster, an electric kettle
and a year’s supply of coffee and tea ($700)
• A two-night stay at The Carlyle hotel in New York ($2,300)
• A red leather case filled with Shu Uemura cosmetics,

Monarch Beach Resort & Spa in Dana Point, Calif. ($5,900)
• A dinner party at any Morton’s, The Steakhouse ($1,500)
