奧斯卡禮袋：不僅奢華，而且奇葩！！

Don’t feel bad for the Academy Award nominees who go home empty-handed on Oscar night; none of this year’s best actor/actress, supporting actor/actress and director contenders should be sore losers when they see the contents of their gift bags, valued at more than $125,000.
那些在奧斯卡頒獎典禮上被提名卻沒有獲獎的明星，其實我們也不必爲他們感到難過；本年度的最佳男女主角獎，最佳配角獎和最佳導演獎的被提名者當面對價值超過12萬5千美元的獎品時，顯然不會因爲與獎項失之交臂而捶胸頓足。

In addition to the usual smorgasbord of luxury skincare products and high-end accessories associated with these annual goodie bags, this year’s giveaway includes a number of jaw-dropping highlights:
和往年一樣，手袋中除了各種奢侈的護膚品和高端配飾以外，今年的手袋中還有更多令人唏噓的重磅豪禮：

a three-night stay at a resort in Tuscany valued at $1,500;
一張價值1500美元的托斯卡納三天三夜度假券；

a luxury train ride through the Canadian Rockies worth more than $14,500;
一次超值1萬4千5百元的加拿大落基山脈豪華列車遊覽機會；

natural French Mediterranean sea salts worth $1,500;
一次價值1500美元的法國地中海旅行；

a custom silver necklace inscribed with the latitude and longitude coordinates of the Dolby Theater from Lat & Lo at $150;
一條來自Lat & Lo價值150美元刻有杜比實驗室經緯度座標的定製銀項鍊；

a “glamping” trip valued at $12,500;
一次價值1萬2千5百元的豪華野營；

a $800 gift certificate for a custom candy and dessert buffet;
一張價值800美元的定製糖果和自助甜品店的經營資格證；

a year’s worth of all-Audi A4 car rental from Silvercar valued at $20,000;
一張在Silvercar網站上可租任意款型奧迪車的價值1200美元的租車年卡；

a Reset Yourself lifestyle makeover package worth more than $14,200;
一個超值1萬4千2百美元的美妝大禮包；

and so much more.
禮品遠遠還不止這些。

The most highly valued item in this year’s bag, according to the press release from Distinctive Assets, the bag’s creator, is a $20,000 gift certificate to have Enigma Life founder Olessia Kantor fly out to meet with each nominee “to discuss their 2015 horoscope, analyze dreams and teach them mind control techniques.”
今年最具價值的禮袋獎品項目來自洛杉磯營銷公司Distinctive Assets，他們提供的是由Enigma Life創始人Olessia Kantor與每一個未獲獎提名者一對一的會面（20000美元），除了幫他們預測2015全年星座運勢和解讀夢境外，還將教他們控制意念的方法。

Who needs a little gold statue when you can learn mind control?
能學會控制意念，誰還會在意一個小金人呢？

To be clear, these gift bags are in no way endorsed by the Academy itself. In fact, in 2006, the Academy voted to end the distribution of gift bags after reaching an agreement with the IRS that stipulated recipients of the swag bags would have to pay taxes on them.
需要強調的是，這些禮品都不是由奧斯卡官方提供，事實上，從2006年起學院委員會已與美國國稅局達成協議，禮品由第三方機構直接送到提名者家中，明星需要對禮品進行納稅。
