McDormand received the Best Actress Oscar for her performance as a vengeance-seeking mother in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

New York Times reporter Cara Buckley, who was at the Governors Ball, claimed a man had "grabbed" the award and "ran out with it".

She said a photographer working for celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck stopped the alleged thief and seized the Oscar.

It was the second time she had won the Best Actress Oscar following her win for Fargo 21 years earlier.

McDormand delivered a rallying cry for the #MeToo movement, which seeks to end harassment and gender double-standards, as she accepted her latest Oscar.

Placing her award on the stage, she asked all women nominated across each category to stand up and be counted.

"Look around, ladies and gentlemen, because we all have stories to tell and projects we need financed," McDormand said.

"Don't talk to us about it at the parties tonight. Invite us into your office in a couple days, or you can come to ours - whichever suits you best - and we'll tell you all about them."
