Gold Derby contributor Tariq Khan chats with FOX s Ashley Dvorkin about who might win Hollywood s biggest honors
The Academy Awards may be different this year, but nominees can still look forward to getting their loaded swag bags.
One of the biggest and most well-known bags is from marketing firm Distinctive Assets. The company gives its Everyone Wins bags to the 25 people who were nominated for best actor, best actress, best supporting actor, best supporting actress and director.
This year’s bag is estimated to be worth $205,000, according to Forbes.
That includes 24-karat gold-finished vape cartridges from Hollowtips, an emergency hammer to free dogs left inside hot cars from PETA, two games A Game of Cat & Mouth and Poetry for Neanderthals from Exploding Kittens, a brain-sensing headband to wear while sleeping from Muse, the anti-racist children’s book Change-Maker Village, and, of course, an NFT (non-fungile token), from Adventure Media and Tallard Capital.

Sibil Fox and Rob Richardson (also known as Fox and Rob Rich) are among a handful of New Orleanians who have a personal stake in Sunday night’s 2021 Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences Awards
. The poignant film about their two-decade-long effort to find justice in what is often considered a racially charged and overly harsh prison-industrial complex, “Time,” is a favorite for Best Documentary Feature.
Also up for Oscar consideration is “One Night in Miami,” which was shot in New Orleans and LaPlace, as well as musical works by New Orleans natives and NOCCA graduates Terence Blanchard and Jon Batiste, who have been nominated in the Best Score category. LSU grad Steven Soderbergh is one of the event’s producers. “Time” is only the second documentary post-Katrina New Orleans to be nominated for an Oscar.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo s Nest and 1991 s
The Silence of the Lambs, have done since.
Nobody had expected much from
It Happened One Night, including its stars. Gable had been sent by mighty MGM, where he was under contract, to lowly Columbia as a punishment, and Colbert, who had clashed with Capra on their 1927 collaboration
For the Love of Mike, had refused to do the film unless her salary was doubled and the film was completed in just four weeks.
The film, which was originally titled
Night Bus and was shot in 1933, during the depths of the Great Depression, centers on a spoiled heiress (Colbert) who runs away and is pursued first for a story, and eventually for love by a working-class newspaperman (Gable). Upon the film s completion, Colbert told a friend, I just finished the worst picture in the world.
