Frances McDormand had quite the night on Oscar Sunday.
McDormand won Best Actress for her performance in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, but ended up being separated from her Oscar at the Governors Awards ball. A spokesperson with the LAPD tells ET that a man was arrested in connection with the incident.
“We are confirming there was an incident that occurred there and there was an arrest made,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “Terry Bryant was arrested yesterday and booked for Felony Grand Theft.”
According to USA Today, the actress was seen “crying emotionally” outside the Governors Awards ball and eventually gave up the search for her missing Oscar — which was engraved with her name at the ball — and left the party with her husband, filmmaker Joel Coen. Thankfully, her representative tells the outlet that she has since been reunited with her Oscar.
“Fran and Oscar are happily reunited and are enjoying an In-N-Out burger together,” her rep said in a statement.
ET has reached out to McDormand’s rep.
The 60-year-old actress is being praised for her powerful speech on Sunday, which advocated for gender and racial equality in hiring on movie sets. In a memorable moment, McDormand asked all the female nominees in every category to stand up with her.
“OK, look around everybody,” she said. “Look around, ladies and gentlemen, because we all have stories to tell and projects we need financed.”
