@yassworld1: A viral TikTok shows Paige Thalia turning trash into treasure after finding pieces of the Academy Awards red carpet tossed in a dumpster near the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The creator said she was looking for a rug for her new apartment when she stumbled across rolls of the iconic carpet and was allowed to take one. She later shared clips of herself cleaning and laying it out at home — instantly going viral. But after her video blew up, access to the carpet was reportedly restricted, with workers moving it behind security barriers. The bizarre find comes as the Oscars also faced backlash over waste and mess left behind after the event. #oscars #redcarpet #academyawards #tiktok #viral
