Oscars 2018: Man arrested for theft of Frances McDormand's Oscar

A man has been arrested on suspicion of stealing Frances McDormand's Oscar after the awards ceremony on Sunday.

Los Angeles Police have confirmed Terry Bryant was arrested for grand theft, after the statuette went missing from the Governor's Ball.

The 47-year old was booked and has had bail set at $20,000 (£14,400). He will attend court at a future date.

The statue has since been returned to the best actress winner.

A representative for the actress told USA Today: "Fran and Oscar are happily reunited and are enjoying an In-N-Out burger together".

LAPD said Bryant was a ticket holder for the Governor's Ball, which is the official formal dinner after the ceremony.
