This year's gift bag for Oscars nominees taps in at over $126,000. Here’s a look at the luxurious offerings.

The 95th Academy Awards are upon us, and the most coveted night in Hollywood has its perks. On Sunday, the red carpet will roll out at the Dolby Theatre, with Jimmy Kimmel returning as this year’s host.

Guests will dine on a custom menu from British chef Elliott Grover. Grover is the protegee of Michelin-star chef Wolfgang Puck who, according to Elite Traveler, has prepared culinary offerings for Oscars attendees for the last 30 years. This year he hands over the apron to Grover, whose offerings will be “British classics.” He plans to start with fish and chips, then a beautiful chicken pie and dessert will be a classic trifle, complete with a cherry on top.

Guests will have unlimited pours of top-shelf liquor, including the sponsored spirits Tequila Don Julio 1942, Piper-Heidsieck Champagne and an assortment of wines from the Francis Ford Coppola Winery.

The decadent food and drink menu is enough to throw the opulent night over the top, but the real luxury takes place in the gift bags.

This year’s bags are valued at over $126,000. The Oscars are well-known for freely giving some of the wealthiest people in the world gifts that only they could afford. Electronics, food, wine, skincare, spa treatments, and clothes are all staples of the bags, but this year, some of the gifts require a passport.

If you don’t walk away with the golden trophy, jetting away will help dry your tears.

Guests will receive a selection of dates to stay at the Faro Punta Imperatore Lighthouse: The Lifestyle. The Italian island vacation hideaway is the ultimate breathtaking escape at The Lifestyle’s 10-acre estate.

They will get a chance to use their new colorful “beach getaway” flip-flops and luggage combo from Havaianas and their PETA “Stop Monkey Imports to Labs” travel pillow as their flight departs LAX.

The Academy even thought of the actors that may want a little charity to go along with their grandeur. The Pieces of Australia organization has thrown in a plot (10 square meters) of land for the lucky recipients.
