Image shared by a photographer shows the mess inside the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles after the 2026 Oscars ceremony.
An image showing the mess inside the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles after the 2026 Oscars ceremony, held last night, went viral on social media and shocked viewers.
In the photo, rows of cinema seats can be seen after the event, covered with trash such as empty water bottles, popcorn buckets, and various food packaging scattered across the floor.
The image was taken by American journalist Matt Neglia from the outlet Next Best Picture and shared on his account on X.
The post sparked widespread criticism of the celebrities in attendance, with internet users expressing concern for the cleaning staff and pointing out the inconsistency of many artists who are involved in environmental activism but do not practice it.
In the comments on Neglia’s post, his followers did not hold back in criticizing the celebrities and gave a very negative assessment of the behavior of those present at the 2026 Oscars ceremony.
“The rich leaving their mess for the poor, as always,” wrote one person.
“Seriously? People couldn’t take their trash with them? And they’re the elite of cinema?” questioned another.
“Aren’t some of them environmentalists? Where is all that energy to ‘protect the planet’ now?” demanded a third.
