Potential Oscar winners have been offered $1 Million, to go to charity, if they promote a herbal health company in their acceptance speech.
The company have offered to donate the funds to a charity of the winners’ choosing if any of the major winners from the Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress categories take a box of the product up to the podium and give it a little plug live.
Charities often rely on the support of major sponsors, as do celebrities (having done numerous ad campaigns for huge companies, and even selling baby pics exclusively to benefit charity) so it’s not really a stretch.
Most of the potential Oscar winners already support a number of charities.
