Airborne, the popular herbal supplement for common colds, is posing a very interesting proposition to Oscar winners at this Sunday’s awards ceremony. The company will donate $1 million to the charity of the actor’s choice, IF and ONLY IF, the winner brings a box of Airborne on stage during their acceptance speech and names the product. This offer only applies to the top four acting categories: Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress.  

This money could obviously help A LOT of families and children who are less fortunate. A million dollars is an incredible sum, but will these winners have the clarity to endorse a product during what is sure to be the highest accolade of their professional careers? Do you think that there will be any takers?
Here's who stands a chance at winning $1 million for their charity:
Best Actor
Richard Jenkins - The Visitor
Frank Langella - Frost/Nixon
Sean Penn - Milk
Brad Pitt - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Mickey Rourke - The Wrestler

Best Actress
Anne Hathaway - Rachel Getting Married
Angelina Jolie - Changeling
Melissa Leo - Frozen River
Meryl Streep - Doubt
Kate Winslet - The Reader

Best Supporting Actor
Josh Brolin - Milk
Robert Downey Jr. - Tropic Thunder
Philip Seymour Hoffman - Doubt
Heath Ledger - The Dark Knight
Michael Shannon - Revolutionary Road

Best Supporting Actress
Amy Adams - Doubt
Penelope Cruz - Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Viola Davis - Doubt
Taraji P. Henson - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Marisa Tomei - The Wrestler

 
Clever marketing scheme from Airborne – we’ll see on Sunday if it pays off!
