Who wants an Oscar? Apparently not the person or persons who dumped some near a Dumpster in the Koreatown section of Los Angeles.
Los Angeles police say that some of the MIA statuettes — presumed stolen on about March 8 — surfaced tonight near that trash heap. The find was reported at about 9:30 p.m. PST, officer Dan Cox told Hollywood.com.
It wasn’t known exactly how many Oscars were now accounted for. A grand sum of 55 were reported missing by Academy officials.
On Friday, the shipping company responsible for the absconded Oscar shipment put up a $50,000 reward for the lost statues.
While Academy brass had vowed that the March 26 ceremonies would not be hindered by the loss, they made a point of noting that they did want their Oscars back.
Consider part of that wish granted.
