Frances McDormand's Oscar night took a dark turn after someone stole her golden statue.

A representative for McDormand told CNN that an individual walked off with McDormand's Oscar while she was at the Governor's Ball, just following the awards ceremony.

"I can confirm that, after a brief time apart last night, Frances and her Oscar were happily reunited," McDormand's rep said.

She previously won the Academy Award for best actress for her performance in "Fargo" in 1997. McDormand earned her second Oscar Sunday for her work in the drama "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri."

She gave a rousing acceptance speech, asking all the female Oscar nominees in attendance to rise from their seats. McDormand then urged the entertainment industry to tell more stories by and about women.

McDormand celebrated her reunion with her Oscar with a double cheeseburger from In-N-Out, according to her rep.

Terry Bryant, 47, was arrested on suspicion of felony grand theft, said Officer Rosario Herrera, a police spokeswoman.

All right baby boys, and baby girls,'' he says, walking quickly and nearly bumping into a woman.

He then quickly glances around him before walking out of frame, prominently holding the Oscar the entire time.

Another photographer who took Bryant's picture at about the same time did not recognize him as a winner at the ceremony, and began following him, police said.

When he was confronted, Bryant handed back the statuette without a fight, police said.

He was detained by security guards at the event and arrested by Los Angeles police officers. The award was later returned to McDormand.

``After some brief time apart, Frances and her Oscar were happily reunited. They celebrated the reunion with a double cheeseburger from In-N-Out Burger,'' McDormand's publicist, Simon Halls, told the AP.
