• e-mail

Frances McDormand became the first actress to be presented with the Best Actress trophy twice in one night on Sunday, first at the Oscars ceremony and then again after the trophy was swiped at the Governor's Ball. 

There was no need to fear however as Gary Oldman handed over the award after it was given to him by the man who managed to stop the would-be thief.

That man, Terry Bryant, has now been arrested and charged with felony grand larceny for the incident Officer Norma Eisenman tells DailyMail.com.

The 60-year-old star had just picked up her Oscar for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri went it went missing shortly after she had it engraved at the official after party for the ceremony.

Photos show her making her way through the room with security looking for the golden man, who was later found and returned to her before she headed off to the Vanity Fair party. 

He was apprehended by security while leaving the Governor's Ball after a photographer did not recognize him as a winner from the show and followed him when he saw him holding the statue.

Bryant, who is a resident of Los Angeles, handed over the trophy without resistance per an incident report filed in the investigation and was turned over to police. 

Bryant was first taken to a hospital to be evaluated after he was apprehended by police.

He had been filming himself with the Oscar at the party and gleefully posing with selfies despite the fact that it was stolen property.

The award had also been engraved at that point, and had McDormand's name and the category for which she won, Best Actress, clearly inscribed on the plaque which wraps around the base.

Bryant was finally booked into jail around 4am at the Hollywood station. 

He is currently being held on $20,000 bail.

Bryant is now facing up to a year in prison, though the prosecutor could charge him with a misdemeanor resulting in no time behind bars.

It is unclear why he was in attendance at the event, though his social media accounts make it clear that he has a fascination with celebrities.

Bryant has posted images of himself with the likes of Beyonce, Mary J Blige, Halle Berry and more. 

He claims to be a 'producer,Alist Entertainment journalist,TV Film & Music Producer,A&E Editor Actor,TV Host,UN Ambassador' on Instagram.

Bryant, who also goes by DJ Matari, did have a ticket to the event on Sunday night, and previously attended both the Screen Actor Guild Awards and Golden Globes earlier this year. 

DailyMail.com reached out to A&E for comment but did not hear back.

Searching for a real love: Bryant described Mary J Blige as his 'lifelong friend' on Instagram (pair above) 

'So baby boys and baby girls, looks,' says Bryant at the start of his video with the Oscar, while holding a drink in his hand.

He then puts down the cocktail and picks up the Oscar, suggesting that McDormand may have left it on the bar. 

Bryant kisses the award and asks those nearby who wants to touch his award and congratulate him, which a handful of people do as he films. 

One woman asks if it has Bryant's name engraved ion it, to which he responds 'yes' while being careful to not show the plaque to the woman or on camera while he films. 

Bryant then begins pressing that woman for details to what party she is going to next and the venue. 

When she cannot remember she calls over her husband and Bryant begins grilling him for the location, referring to the man as 'Patrick' in a familial way like he was an old acquaintance.

The husband seems a bit hesitant to provide details, and son Bryant is again yelling about the fact that he just won an Oscar while looking into the camera while he films.

He then asks Patrick for a third time where the Jimmy Kimmel party is at, at which point he gets out his phone to share the information.

Bryant also tells the man that he is going to the Vanity fair party.

He then tells someone he is with to take the information  while yelling into the camera: 'Academy Award for music!' 

Bryant says he cannot believe he won it and then asks the woman standing near him if she wants to hold the award, noting that it is so heavy.

He then starts talking to another group and says he won the award for Best Producer, which is technically not a category at the ceremony.

The three producers who are attached to the Best Picture winner take home a prize. 

That conversation comes to a halt though when he learns that the Patrick has shared the address of Jimmy Kimmel's party, at which point Bryant says he has to leave. 

'Terry we have to go,' says his friend.

'Best Actress winner Frances McDormand and her Oscar were happily reunited after a brief separation at last night’s Governors Ball,' said an Academy spokesperson on Monday morning. 

'The alleged thief was quickly apprehended by a photographer and members of our fast-acting Academy and security teams.' 

That photographer was an employee of Wolfgang Puck's, the chef who caters the Governor's ball every year. 

McDormand meanwhile is back home with her man, the second Oscar she has picked up for Best Actress.

'Fran and Oscar are happily reunited and are enjoying an In-N-Out burger together,' said her rep in a statement. 

She was relatively unfazed after the loss, as she walked around the event with son Pedro, 23, and her Academy Award-winning husband Joel Coen. 

McDormand had said of the men earlier in the night: 'These two stalwart individuals were well raised by their feminist mothers. They value themselves, each other, and those around them. I know you are proud of me, and that fills me with everlasting joy.'

The actress, whose birth name was Cynthia Smith, adopted Pedro in 1995 with Coen from Paraguay, and was herself adopted by a minister and his wife at the age of 18 months. 

She's keeping an eye on it: Frances put her Oscar down beside herself while on stage just a short while before it later went missing - but luckily it's now back in her possession

McDormand closed with a message clearly directed to the power players in the industry, stating: 'I have two words to leave with you tonight: inclusion rider.'

An inclusion rider is a contractual clause requiring racial and gender diversity when hiring at workplaces. It is popular among those who believe there should be required diversity on film sets.

The phrase was coined by Dr Stacy Smith of the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative of Californian university USC Annenberg in a 2016 TED talk she gave titled 'The data behind Hollywood's sexism'.

Between 2007 and 2015, Dr Smith said she analysed more than 800 films and uncatalogued every speaking character by their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and disabilities.

So she suggested a number of solutions to address the imbalance, including for the most in-demand female stars of the day to demand the realistic representation of women and minorities in their contracts.

'A-listers, as we all know, can make demands in their contracts, particularly the ones that work on the biggest Hollywood films. What if those A-listers simply added an equity clause or an inclusion rider into their contract?'

In an ideal world the clause would mean speaking roles in the film would reflect the demographics of the region where the film was set, giving a realistic representation of the world.

Less than a third of all speaking roles are given to girls or women, she said, despite women making up half of the population. When it came to other demographics, the numbers were even more unbalanced.

'Across the top 100 films of just last year, 48 films didn't feature one black or African-American speaking character, not one,' she said. 'Seventy films were devoid of Asian or Asian-American speaking characters that were girls or women.'

The lack of representation among women and minorities amounted to 'erasure', she continued, in which women are overly sexualised.

'Look around ladies and gentlemen,' McDormand said powerfully, 'because we all have stories to tell and projects we need financed'

Heartfelt: The actress was genuine and unfiltered in her speech

Stand up! Dozens of women got to their feet during the speech

'I'm hyperventilating a little bit,' McDormand said getting onstage after her name was announced. 'If I fall over, pick me up because I've got some things to say.'

McDormand closed with a message clearly directed to industry insiders, 'I have two words to leave with you tonight: inclusion rider.'

Sisterhood: Janney congratulated McDormand after her powerful speech

'We actually have the ability to change the world on this one,' she said. 'The US and its content, films in particular, have captured the imaginations of audiences worldwide.

'So that means that the film industry has unprecedented access to be able to distribute stories about equality all around the world.'

At a time when feminist campaigns like Me Too and Time's Up are dominating the conversation around Hollywood, McDormand left no question about the direction she wants to see her industry take.   

Comedian and writer Whitney Cummings tweeted an explanation immediately afterwards on Sunday night, 'an inclusion rider is something actors put into their contracts to ensure gender and racial equality in hiring on movie sets. We should support this for a billion reasons, but if you can't find a reason to, here's one: it will make movies better.'

After sweeping trophies at the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild, Independent Spirit and BAFTA ceremonies, McDormand won for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri she now took home the biggest one of all.

In the film, she played Mildred Hayes, a hardened woman seeking justice for her daughter's murder in the crime drama.

McDormand, 60, rarely does anything A-list actresses are known to do: wear designer gowns, walk red carpets or politic during awards season and yet she collected all the biggest trophies this season.

Already on their feet: The winner was applauded with a standing ovation

'I'm hyperventilating a little bit,' McDormand said when she first got onstage after her name was announced. 'If I fall over, pick me up because I've got some things to say.'

'I think is what Chloe Kim must have felt like after doing back-to-back 1080s in the Olympic half-pipe,' the actress joked.

She went on to thank her sister, her husband Joel Coen and his brother Ethan while also sending gratitude to her director Martin McDonagh.

'I want to thank Martin McDonagh, look what you did. We are a bunch of hooligans and anarchists but we do clean up nice. I want to thank every single person in this building.'

'And my sister Dorothy. I love you, Dot. And I especially want to thank my clan, Joel and Pedro 'McCoen.' These two stalwart individuals were well-raised by their feminist mother. They value themselves, each other and those around them. I know you are proud of me and that fills me with everlasting joy.' 

McDormand bested Margot Robbie of I, Tonya, Saoirse Ronan of Lady Bird, Sally Hawkins of The Shape of Water, and 21-time nominee Streep of The Post.

It was the second Oscar win for McDormand. Her first came in 1997 for Fargo, directed by her husband Joel Coen and his brother Ethan.
