Ever wondered what it’s like to snag a $1 million goodie bag simply for showing up at an awards show? Well, hold onto your popcorn, because the Golden Globes just dropped some serious luxury on every nominee and presenter. But, surprise! There are rules to playing this game of glitz and glam! Yep, it turns out there’s a little more than just showing up in a designer outfit. Celebrities must adhere to some pretty strict guidelines before they can even think about diving into the jaw-dropping treasures contained within these opulent bags. So, what kind of extravagance are we talking about, and who gets access to the most sought-after perks? Let’s break it down! LEARN MORE.
Some celebrities may have forgotten to read the small print when it came to their $1 million Golden Globe gift bags.
The Golden Globes on Sunday night (January 5) marked the first major awards night of the season, and saw the likes of Demi Moore, Kieran Culkin and Zoe Saldaña win their respective categories.
However, it wasn’t a total loss for the nominees that didn’t end up taking home an award as they, the winners and award presenters such as Vin Diesel will all have been gifted a jaw-dropping $1 million goody bag.

For example, a private flight and stay in Finland to see the Northern Lights worth $48,000 was only available to one recipient, and only nine people could go on the three-night stay in a beachfront villa in Turks and Caicos (worth over $500,000).

The same ‘first come, first served’ rule reportedly applied to the other freebies available to only a specific number of Hollywood stars, says The Guardian.
Personally I’d have been fighting tooth and nail for the three-night stay in a six-bedroom Caribbean estate villa…
