“Mr. Nobody Against Putin” surprised many in the Dolby at this year’s Oscars when it took the Best Documentary Feature Academy Award over presumed favorite “The Perfect Neighbor.”

An Oscar statuette confiscated by airport security will be returned to its owner, Russian educator Pavel Talankin, after TSA staff determined the trophy was a safety risk.

“We can confirm that the Oscar statue has now been located and is safely in our care in Frankfurt,” Anja Lindenstein, who heads the brand’s media relations office, said.

After being forced to check his Academy Award on a trans-Atlantic flight, recent winner Pavel Talankin's Oscar went missing before an airline tracked it down two days later.

An Oscar that went missing after its winner was forced to check the golden statuette at a New York airport has been found, the airline involved has told the BBC.

Oh no! An Oscar is missing - we hear you and we are here to help.
