Oscar Losers Win Big with Space Trips and Spa Vacations in Gift Bag

Oscar Losers Win Big with Space Trips and Spa Vacations in Gift Bag

Which would you rather have: an Oscar, or a ride on a space ship? Natalie Portman may have the first, but Annette Bening will get the second! According to the New York Post, the Academy Award nominees who walked away without a gold statue at Sunday's Oscars received some major consolation prizes. Here's what the likes of Jeff Bridges, Javier Bardem and Amy Adams received in their swag bags...

A space flight on Virgin Galactic, the airline that will offer sub-orbital flights to the public starting as soon as this year. (The flights include six minutes in anti-gravity -- whee!) Value: $200,000

Four nights at a luxury resort (which has an underwater spa!) in the Maldives. Value: $16,000

A vacation on a private island for five days, courtesy of (of course) APrivateIsland.com. Value: $12,000

Eye and neck cream made of caviar. Value: $200

Electronic cigarettes studded with Swarovski crystals. Value: $100

The six-figure consolation prize package also contained a one-week fitness retreat, a roll of $20 "Shimmer" toilet paper and some nasal spray. (No, not diamond-encrusted or made of caviar -- just nasal spray.)

Kind of gives new meaning to the word "loser," doesn't it?
