This is the first year in a while that I've managed to see all 5 nominated movies before the show. I feel ready and fit to judge!
Forget the little gold statuette and all that guff about best supporting whatever. The big winners at tomorrow night's Oscar ceremony will walk away with cashmere pyjama bottoms, mink eyelashes and a coffee maker.
Presenters and performers at this year's Oscar ceremony will receive a "gift basket" - a bag of freebies - expected to have a value of around $150,000 (£78,500). It will include the latest ultra-thin mobile phone, a selection of free holidays, exclusive olive oil, a $1,500 voucher for dinner, and the coffee maker, which together with a toaster and kettle carries a price tag of $700.
This year there are even plans for an unofficial runners-up gift bag for all the nominees. Priced at around $38,000, it includes a voucher for a weekend in Las Vegas.

Are you ready?

I mean, the average celebrity presenting the awards has millions and millions of dollars.
For God's sake, why can't they donate that money to charity or something. Those people are the last people who need that stuff or that much money spent on them.
