The Oscar statuette awarded to the co-director of the documentary "Mr. Nobody vs. Putin" has reportedly gone missing.

Confiscation at New York Airport

Reports indicate that the American security personnel intervened to stop the co-director from transporting the Oscar statuette on his flight departing from New York. The specific reasons for the confiscation were not detailed in the initial reports, but it resulted in the statuette being taken into custody by the authorities. Following this intervention, the award's whereabouts became unknown, leading to its reported disappearance.
