Academy Rewards
No matter who takes home the little golden statues, everybody who makes it on stage at Sunday night's Academy Awards is going to win big. And we mean big. According to USA Today, every celeb who's kind enough to put up with the painful inconvenience of sharing themselves with the world as a presenter or a performer Sunday will receive a gift bag filled with goodies worth $110,000. (In the real world that's about twice what a Philadelphia police sergeant makes per year.) The bounty includes a gift certificate for a $6,000 43-inch Samsung DLP HDTV, plus a year of satellite TV; a pair of round-trip business-class tickets on Air New Zealand from L.A. to Auckland; a $1,500 steak dinner; and, to help digest that steak, there's also a $500 Krups espresso machine (probably the cheapest item in the bag).

Damn, I wish I we're going to the Oscars.
