A man accused of stealing Frances McDormand’s best actress Oscar from an official after-party has been arrested, Los Angeles police said. He was arrested on Sunday night after McDormand’s award went missing briefly at the lavish Governor’s Ball party in Hollywood, where Academy Award winners have their statuettes engraved. Mr Bryant posted a video of himself in a tuxedo at the event holding an Oscar statuette and telling other guests he was a winner. It was not clear how Mr Bryant took possession of the Oscar or how it was recovered. Oldman posed for photos with the two Oscars but returned it to officials because McDormand had already left the ball.
