James Franco, loser 

I've never wanted to be a loser so bad in my life. From the New York Post:
The infamous “consolation prize” swag bag — presented by Distinctive Assets the morning after the Oscars to all nominees who don’t win — will include the following trinkets at these estimated retail values:

  • $200,000: An orbital space flight on Virgin Galactic (allowing nominees to be among the first to fly the friendly skies of space — kind of).
  • $16,000: Four-night stay at the Huvafen Fushi luxury resort in the Indian Ocean from Premier Tours, featuring an underwater spa in the Maldives (for those tough weeks when a terrestrial spa just won’t do).
  • $4,850: One-week “fitness and weight-loss” retreat from Live in Fitness (helpful after noshing on all those black truffles and sipping flutes of champagne).
  • $12,000: Use of a private island for five days, “including private houseman” from APrivateIsland.com (so they don’t have to BYOH).
OK, now I don't feel bad anymore about James Franco losing the "Best Actor" Oscar to Colin Firth. Going to space would pretty much be the coolest damn thing ever -- especially if he got high. Previously the coolest thing he ever did high was host the Oscars.

*5 James Franco pictures total in the gallery:

    That's one more loss at an Oscar than I will ever have.
