Nothing's worse than second place, right? Not if you're an Academy Award nominee. Even if this year's contenders don't win at this year's ceremony, they're getting a pretty good consolation prize: a gift bag valued at more than $125,000.

So what's inside? In addition to luxury skincare products and other extravagant accessories, highlights include free vacations to Tuscany and the Canadian Rockies, a $250 vaporizer, a $250 vibrator, $1,500 in French Mediterranean sea salts, and a "lifestyle makeover package" valued at $14,200.

If that's not enough, each bag comes with a $20,000 certificate inviting each nominee to meet with EnigmaLife's Olessia Kantor, who will "discuss their 2015 horoscope, analyze dreams and teach them mind control techniques." That way even if nominees don't win this time around, they'll have a good idea of what Oscar-winning roles the future has in store.
