Red carpet at Oscars thrown out at dumpster…
The academy’s trash is now a Los Angeles lady’s model new carpet.
Content creator, Paige Thalia, was ready to secure a piece of the Oscars ceremony’s pink carpet for herself after discovering rolls of it in a dumpster.“I was walking my dog a few nights ago by the Dolby while they were setting up for the Oscars,” Thalia told The Post. “I just moved into a new apartment and was looking for a rug for a specific spot…but couldn’t find anything that wasn’t crazy expensive.”

In a reel shared by Thalia on Monday, she traveled to the Dolby Theatre, the situation of the Oscars ceremony. Security allowed her to climb up some inexperienced dumpsters to take a piece of the carpet, she said. “When I first moved to LA in 2017 I went to an event at the Dolby the morning after the Oscars,” she said. “They had a ripped up pile of red carpet and let me take a tiny piece!”Multiple, large rolls of the carpet could be seen in the video.
“If you want some red carpet, it’s at the dumpster on Hawthorne Avenue,” she said while carrying out the carpet in her arm.

Later, she’s shown vacuuming the carpet now laid out on the ground of her residence.“Living so close now, and genuinely needing a rug anyway, I thought I’d walk down in the morning and find a crew member dismantling everything to ask,” she said. “When I saw the carpet was already gone, I assumed I was too late, then was surprised to find it a block away! So I didn’t expect it but I often go into things like this with high hopes.”
In another video posted Tuesday, Thalia offered an update where she ran into some males with boxcutters after checking again if the carpet was still there. They moved it back behind the security gate and wouldn’t let anybody have it, she said.
“I’m sorry I brought attention to it before you guys could all get some,” she said in the video.
Other people appeared to give you the chance to affirm Thalia’s claims of the pink carpet being in the dumpster. One commenter shared a picture and said she was also ready to get a piece of the carpet later on Monday.
The Post reached out to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which organizes the Oscars ceremony, for particulars on the discarded carpet, but didn’t hear back.
Many well-known celebrities stepped onto that very same carpet at this yr’s Oscars hosted Sunday evening.
An image displaying trash, including discarded water bottles and snack packets, strewn across Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre also acquired a lot of consideration on social media — sparking backlash over the hypocrisy of the elite, who grandstand about the surroundings.
“Aren’t some of them environmentalists?” one critic pointed out. “Where’s all that ‘protect the planet’ energy now?”A source within the Academy insisted the social media post was taken out of context and was a “misunderstanding.”
