Where's my Oscar? Eight times Academy Awards trophies have gone missing

The Academy Award statuette has a notorious history of disappearing through theft, misplacement, and unusual circumstances. Recent incidents include documentarian Pavel Talankin's Oscar being confiscated at a New York airport for being deemed a potential weapon, costume designer Colleen Atwood losing multiple statuettes to California wildfires, and Frances McDormand's trophy being stolen at the 2018 Governors Ball before quick recovery. Various celebrities including Jared Leto, Matt Damon, and Whoopi Goldberg have lost their Oscars over the years through moves, floods, and shipping mishaps.
