- A man tried to steal Frances McDormand's best actress Oscar award at an aftershow ball, according to a tweet from a New York Times reporter.
- USA Today reported Sunday night that McDormand was eventually "reunited" with her award after "a scary post-show celebration separation."
An unidentified man tried to steal Frances McDormand's best actress Oscar award at an aftershow ball, according to a tweet from New York Times reporter Cara Buckley.
USA Today reported Sunday night that McDormand was eventually "reunited" with her award after "a scary post-show celebration separation."
But Buckley's tweet provided further detail into the seeming attempted theft: Wolfgang Puck's photographer apparently stopped the man from leaving the ball with the trophy. The man then "disappeared back into the ball," after McDormand said to let him go.
On Sunday night, a representative for McDormand confirmed to USA Today that McDormand got the trophy back.
"Fran and Oscar are happily reunited and are enjoying an In-N-Out burger together," the rep wrote.
Security at the Governors Ball are looking for this guy, who grabbed Frances McDormand's Oscar and ran out with it. Wolfgang Puck's photographer stopped him, got the Oscar back, and the guy disappeared back into the ball. Apparently Frances has said to let him go. #Oscars #Drama pic.twitter.com/5tlsx4Ulwt
