Cheer Up, Oscar Losers: Tuscany and Big Cats Await
Cheer up, Michael Keaton.
You may not have won the Oscar for best actor, but you’re going to Tuscany.
And turn that frown upside down, Meryl Streep. Who needs an Oscar for best supporting actress when you can take an exotic cat tour in Tampa?
Each year, Academy Award nominees rake in the goods by taking home the most expensive goody bag on the planet. Nominees took home goody bags valued at $125,000 to $150,000 at this year’s Academy Awards. The bag included everything from a $69 pillow to a $12,500 glamping trip.
Let’s take a closer look at the trips offered to the stars via their goody bags.

Animal-loving celebs will love this non-profit sanctuary to 100 exotic cats in Tampa, Florida. Your soundtrack for this excursion should be Katy Perry’s “Roar.’’ That should jolt you out of your post-Oscars slump. Onward to the next script!

Camping without a chef? Gasp!
Celebs who missed the gold can become one with the Earth as they lick their wounds — and their lips — while their personal chef whips them up gourmet meals in the wild on this $12,500 “glamping’’ trip.
Ahh, it’s good to be a celebrity.
