It has been reported that McDormand's award was STOLEN during the Governors Ball which took place after the Oscars.

USA Today reports the McDormand was spotted crying outside the event after misplacing her award and she left with husband Joel Coen.

Security was sent to search for the award, which thankfully had already been engraved with McDormand's name.

New York Times reporter Cara Buckley stated on Twitter that a photographer for chef Wolfgang Puck stopped the man who took the Oscar and got it back.

Buckley added: "Apparently Frances has said let him go."

Simon Halls, McDormand's representative, later confirmed to USA Today that the Oscar and the actress had been reunited.

"Fran and Oscar are happily reunited and are enjoying an In-N-Out burger together."

Thankfully she didn't need Three Billboards to highlight the incident.
