Frances McDormand’s Best Actress Oscar Award was stolen at the Governors Ball on Sunday.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to Access that a man who tried to steal Frances’ Oscar Award during the Governors Ball has been booked.
Here’s what happened — Frances set her Oscar statuette down on her table at the Governors Ball, and a man named Terry Bryant came by and picked it up. Access sources revealed that Frances was frantically looking around for her Oscar after she noticed that it was gone. She had to leave the Governor’s Ball without it and Access overheard Frances asking for a “chocolate Oscar” instead.
Bryant was photographed by Wolfgang Puck’s photographer holding Frances’ Oscar statuette and dashing out. According to New York Times reporter Cara Buckley, the photographer chased him down and got the Oscar back.
