Editor's Note

Forget the boost to your acting career, maybe you want to get nominated for an Academy Award just for the swag alone. That is, if the Guardian is to be believed (it is).

Japanese milk bread, a three-night stay for eight people on a volcanic Italian island and liposuction are among the treats inside the much-coveted Oscars goodie bag this year.

The bag, which is unaffiliated with the Academy but sent by the company Distinctive Assets to the acting and directing nominees, is valued at around $126,000 (£106,000).
