Sometimes it isn't what the stars wear to the Oscars, it's what they're getting. And this year's grab bag for Academy Award guests gets even swankier, packing a reportedly cool US$150,000 worth of goodies. Ok, so nothing beats Sundance's over-the-top hamper which included an 18-carat gold vibrator. But check out some of the tech loot in the Academy's sack: A 43-inch Samsung high-definition projection TV, subscription to the VOOM HDTV satellite service, Motorola's RAZR V3 black edition, a Samsung multimedia phone from Sprint, Dyson DC11 vacuum, iXi collapsible bike, Krups kitchen set, a free year of VoIP phone service from Vonage. With trophies like that, who needs Oscar?
