Missing Oscar found after Academy Award winner blocked from taking it on flight | BBC News


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.

Pavel Talankin said he had the Academy Award in his carry-on bag for a flight to Germany on Wednesday, but airport security stopped him at John F Kennedy International Airport because they said the award could be used as a weapon.

When he landed in Germany, the Oscar for his documentary Mr Nobody Against Putin was gone.

"The Oscar statue has now been located and is safely in our care in Frankfurt," Lufthansa said, adding that the airline was in direct contact with the guest to arrange the statue’s return "as quickly as possible".
