Making celebrities cough the dough at the Oscars was a trend set up by Ellen DeGeneres when she ordered pizza slices at the ceremony and made Harvey Weinstein of Weinstein Company pay for it at the 2014 ceremony.

Host of 88th Academy Awards, Chris Rock, went a step ahead and brought Girl Scouts of America to sell their cookies to who's who of Hollywood. On Air, they claimed to raise over $65,000.

But now, according to gossip website TMZ, the 28 girls and the Girl Scout of America have not seen a penny of that money. Mother of one of the scouts of Inglewood, CA's Girl Scouts Troop 5215 told the site that the National Girl Scout Council informed them the Academy would be donating the $65,000 to the Greater LA Council.

The report claims that Academy has not returned any of the calls made by the authorities.

Being a non-profit organisation, Girl Scouts Troop 5215 will only get $1000 of that money. But their bigger concern is that the scouts are being used to spin a public relations lie.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, however, plans to honour their commitment.

“Of course we have every intention of honouring our commitment to the Girl Scouts. They were such a highlight, and we were happy to have them," said a spokesperson at the Academy to Variety.

The complicated billing and payments process takes time to clear all the checks and dues. It has been less than two weeks since the show aired. The Academy will make the payments as soon as possible, reports Variety.
