Frances McDormand has been reunited with her best actress Academy Award after it was snatched during a post-Oscar party Sunday.

McDormand, 60, fresh off her Oscar win for her portrayal of Mildred Hayes in “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” was upset after her award was snatched from her table while celebrating at the Governors Ball on Sunday night, TMZ reported.

TMZ reported the man who allegedly stole the award was arrested. Security was dispatched to find the Academy Award, which had McDormand’s named engraved on it, after it went missing. Winning recipients of the award get their names engraved on it at the Governors Ball.

The New York Times reported security at the ball were looking for a man who was photographed with the statuette. Wolfgang Puck's photographer was reportedly able to stop the man before he left with the Oscar. McDormand allegedly said to let the thief go but security turned him in to Los Angeles police.

Police identified the suspect as Terry Bryant, 47. He was arrested on suspicion of felony grand theft and is being held on $20,000 bail.

As noted by ABC News, Bryant posted a video to Facebook Sunday night -- with the caption "My Oscar baby" -- in which he proudly holds the Oscar in his hand, kisses it and claims his "team got this tonight. This is mine. We got it tonight, baby."

"I can't believe I got this," Bryant said of the award, which he seemed to say he won for "best producer" in "music."

As he asks what parties everyone is attending next, Bryant appears to boast of the Oscar — "You know what, I can't believe I got this" — and asks who wants to congratulate him. Partygoers then give him praise and ask to touch the award.
