It’s called the “Everyone Wins” goodie bag. The gift bags are given to everyone nominated in the major categories of Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress.

Distinctive Assets, a Los Angeles-based firm that is not associated with the Oscars yet distributes the goodie bags to nominees, has been doing so since 2002.

Nominees have the choice to decline these gifts, and it’s not a mandate. In the past, many have opted out, typically due to tax considerations.
