The security was soon able to recover the trophy and returned it to her. "I can confirm that after a brief time apart, Frances and her Oscar were happily reunited last night. They celebrated their reunion with a double cheeseburger from In-N-Out," McDormand's representative told People magazine.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, a man was later arrested for allegedly stealing the Oscar. "Best Actress winner Frances McDormand and her Oscar were happily reunited after a brief separation at last night¿s Governors Ball. The alleged thief was quickly apprehended by a photographer and members of our fast-acting Academy and security teams. The 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri' star resumed her celebrations," a spokesperson for the Academy said.
