    Man arrested, accused of stealing McDormand’s Oscar trophy

    LOS ANGELES (AP) --

    A man was arrested and is accused of stealing Frances McDormand's Oscars trophy after the Academy Awards on Sunday night, Los Angeles police said.

    Terry Bryant, 47, was arrested on suspicion of felony grand theft, said Officer Rosario Herrera, a police spokeswoman.

    "After some brief time apart, Frances and her Oscar were happily reunited. They celebrated the reunion with a double cheeseburger from In-N-Out Burger," McDormand's publicist, Simon Halls, told The Associated Press.

    McDormand received the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri."

    The Oscar statuette was allegedly stolen during the Governors Ball after party, authorities said. Bryant had a ticket for the event, Herrera said.

    The two-time Oscar winner, who swept trophies at the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild, Independent Spirit and BAFTA ceremonies, beat out Sally Hawkins of "The Shape of Water," Margot Robbie of "I, Tonya," Saoirse Ronan of "Lady Bird," and 21-time nominee Streep of "The Post" at Sunday's Oscars.

    In "Three Billboards," McDormand played Mildred Hayes, a hardened woman seeking justice for her daughter's murder in the crime drama.

    Her first Oscar came in 1996 for "Fargo," directed by her husband Joel Coen and his brother Ethan.

    Bryant was being held on $20,000 bail Monday morning, police said.

    A telephone number for Bryant couldn't immediately be located and it wasn't clear if had an attorney who could comment on his behalf.

    Hollywood meets the Middle East as Red Sea International Film Festival opens in Jeddah

    The fifth edition of the Red Sea International Film Festival, one of the Middle East's largest film festivals, opened Thursday in the coastal city of Jeddah, marking a significant moment for the kingdom's growing film industry.

    Running from Dec. 4 to 13, the Red Sea International Film Festival brings together filmmakers and talent from around the world, screening more than 100 films from over 70 countries.

    The festival's prestigious "Red Sea: Competition" strand features a selection of 16 narrative features, animations and documentaries from the Arab world, Asia and Africa, all vying for the top honor: the Yusr Awards, which will be presented at the closing ceremony.

    The festival takes place in Jeddah's Al-Balad district — a UNESCO World Heritage site — blending Saudi heritage with international cinema.

    This year, the selection jury is being led by the Academy Award-winning filmmaker Sean Baker, best known for "Anora," which won five Oscars, four of which went to Sean Baker himself.

    "This festival is really exciting because of how big it's become just in the last five years," Baker said. "It's rare that I see a festival just exploding in terms of importance and impact on world cinema."

    The festival opens with "Giant," a true story of legendary British-Yemeni boxing champion Prince Naseem 'Naz' Hamed. The film stars Egyptian-British actor Amir El-Masry as Hamed and Pierce Brosnan as his Irish trainer, Brendan Ingle, and is directed by British filmmaker Rowan Athale.

    "It was probably one of the hardest roles I've ever done," El-Masry said, noting that his preparation involved four and a half weeks of training, during which he lost about eight kilos.

    "It's been a passion project for me for a long time," said... Read More
