    The stuff of dreams

    We can't tell you what we would give to be a Hollywood A-lister living it up at events like the Oscars 2017.

    In case all of the glitz and glamour wasn't enough to be getting on with, the nominees will also take home a goodie bag filled (worth about £160,000) with everything you could possibly wish for, from five holidays to 10 years worth of make-up. And if you thought the $30,000 Grammys gift bag was impressive, you haven't seen anything yet.

    Distinctive Assets provide the goodie bags, which are not endorsed by the Academy, to the Oscar nominees in attendance.

    So, what's in these unofficial goodie bags, we hear you ask?
