Bryant is accused of swiping McDormand's Oscar statuette from the black-tie Governor's Ball where Oscar winners have their awards engraved.

It's not clear whether Bryant had a ticket to the Governors Ball, but video posted by The Associated Press showed him entering the party alongside McDormand, waving and holding out his arm like a member of her entourage.

According to Variety, the suspect's name is Terry Bryant, and he has been booked on felony grand theft charges, despite McDormand's alleged request that he be let go by security. He took the Oscar off the table where Frances was sitting and videotaped himself with the award in hand.

Brookman cited her presence in court when he asked for Bryant's release, saying she could attest to the special role he played as part of her community.

The 90th Academy Awards, which aired Sunday, March 4, honoured the best films of 2017 and the players behind and before the camera.
