Jared Leto says his Oscar is gone. He is not the only one.

Jared Leto clearly remembers the night he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in 2013 Dallas Buyers Club. When it comes to what he did with his trophy, not so much.

“You know, I found out that he was missing for, about three years, and I didn’t know it,” Leto said Tuesday The Late Late Show with James Corden. “I don’t think anyone wanted to tell me. But I had moved to Los Angeles and when we moved it just magically disappeared.

Leto added that he hopes the statuette will be handled with care… wherever it is.

“I think it’s a possibility [that someone else has it]Leto said. “It’s not the kind of thing someone accidentally throws in the trash.”

While it seems unlikely that a star will be estranged from her Oscar, the storyline has unfolded several times since the Oscars in 1929.

Like Leto, Jennifer Lawrence and Matt Damon have lost track of their trophies. Angelina Jolie, who won for her supporting actress in 1999 Girl interrupted, reportedly declared in 2009 that she had not seen his.

Meanwhile, the late Marlon Brando had neither of the two Oscars he had won at the time of writing his 1994 autobiography, Songs that my mother taught me. He included a photo of him holding the first one, which he won at the 1955 ceremony for At the water’s edge, and wrote that it sort of “ended up in a London auction house”. Brando also did not have the second, which he won for the years 1973. The Godfather and Sacheen Littlefeather was dismissed on his behalf. “I don’t know what happened to this Oscar,” he wrote in his book. “The Motion Picture Academy may have sent it to me, but if it does, I don’t know where it is now.”

A few other recipients have lost their gold to theft, at least temporarily.

This is what happened to Hattie McDaniel – the first black person to be nominated for an Oscar – after winning the Best Actress victory for playing Mammy in Blown away by the wind. McDaniel donated the award to Howard University towards the end of his life. (She died in 1952.) Then, in the 60s or 70s, she disappeared from the university’s fine arts center. No one knows if it was simply misplaced, because the award was a plaque at the time, or if it was intentional theft, perhaps by someone unhappy with the controversial role McDaniel played in as a servant.

The story continues

In 1989 Olympia Dukakis – winner of the previous year’s best supporting actress for Dreamer – was far from home when someone broke in and only won their Oscar. Surprisingly, the thief left the nameplate. He then tried to sell the rest to her, but she ended up buying a new one from the academy for around $ 78 instead.

Whoopi Goldberg retained the trophy she won for Best Supporting Actress in the 1990s Ghost for over a decade. The problem arose when she sent it back to the Academy for maintenance. Oddly enough, the box Goldberg sent arrived at its destination empty, and someone found the trophy in the trash can near where she had sent it. The theory was that the thief didn’t realize that every Oscar had a serial number, so it would be difficult to pawn it.

Then there was that incident at the 2018 Oscars, in which Frances McDormand won her second Oscar, for her portrayal of a grieving mother in Three billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri. He disappeared during the official after-party, the Governors’ Ball. A man named Terry Bryant, who had a ticket to the event, was captured in a video posted to social media holding him and stating that he had won it himself. “Who wants to congratulate me?” he said. While Bryant was arrested that night, the felony theft charge ultimately brought against him was dropped in August 2019. McDormand’s treasure was immediately returned to him.

This year’s Oscars are slated for April 25, later than usual, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
