It's as tight a race as ever at the Oscars this year, but even if actors such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence lose in their respective categories, they can at least console themselves with the prospect of an $80,000 goodie bag.

Distinctive Assets, a Los Angeles-based marketing firm, has been offering "celebrity swag" for 15 years now to non-winners in the Best Actor, Best Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress and Best Director categories, according to a press release. Past recipients include Meryl Streep, Hugh Jackman, Helen Mirren, Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner.
