According to the Interfax-Ukraine Culture project, photos of the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles after the conclusion of the 98th Academy Awards ceremony have been shared on social media, showing a large amount of trash, film journalist and editor of the Next Best Picture website Matt Neglia reported on social media platform X.
“Clean up on aisle ALL,” Neglia wrote, posting a photo of the auditorium after the ceremony.
The photo quickly went viral and sparked a wave of discussion. Users noted the contrast between the glamorous atmosphere of the Oscars, the red carpet, and the guests’ evening attire—and what the auditorium looked like after the event ended.
The photo shows snack wrappers, cups, bottles, and other trash scattered on the floor and between the rows of seats. In the comments, some users criticized this scene, noting that public talk about the environment and responsible consumption seems contradictory against the backdrop of such images.
The 98th Academy Awards ceremony took place on the night of March 16 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
As reported, Sean Penn missed the 2026 Oscars: his absence is linked to a trip to Ukraine. The host of the 2026 Oscars, Conan O’Brien, opened the ceremony with a series of sharp jokes about Hollywood, politics, and streaming platforms. The documentary film “Mr. Nobody Against Putin”, which explores Russian propaganda regarding the war against Ukraine and its impact on schoolchildren, won the Academy Award in the category of “Best Documentary Feature.”
