It’s great to be nominated for an Oscar, but only one actor wins. But there is an upside to not winning. Non-winning Oscar Nominees in all the major event categories will receive a Distinctive Assets consolation Gift Basket the day after the Oscar telecast. Nominees who don’t win in the Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Director categories will still feel like a winner when Distinctive Assets presents them with a fabulous basket of gifts.

This year, Distinctive Assets has opted to go for a tastefully understated Gift Basket, to go along with Hollywood’s ever changing climate. Over-the-top extravagance has been sacrificed for gifts that represent more fun, relaxation and functionality.
Nominees will still be given items from a slew of companies including Varsity Couture, Revaléskin, Jimmyland, Heineken, DevaConcepts, La Costa Resort & Spa, Hour Glass Studio, Maxtor, NutriFit, Pet Glitter, Sprayology, London Sole, RoamEO, Hollywood Cook Book, Tozzi, Suzy Birstein, Politeed, NaturesCast, Manning Square, Havaianas, Inner Balance, Kara Mia, Poo-poori, Ziljian 9, Gothic Dog, Om Aroma, Kirstie Kelly, Kim VO Enterprises, ToeMates, Magical Voice Productions, Jessie New World Beauty, Be! Products, Scene it?, OnTray, The Loved Dog, Foxers, Xbox 360, Naturescast, Jolan, Maxtor, Fundora Dental Corporation and Escapes Group, with many more items still to be added.
This Gift Basket - set to be handed out on February 25, 2008 - is not affiliated with A.M.P.A.S or the Academy Awards.
