After being forced to check his Academy Award on a trans-Atlantic flight, recent winner Pavel Talankin's Oscar went missing before an airline tracked it down two days later.
Talankin, who co-directed the best documentary winner “Mr. Nobody Against Putin,” didn't expect to have to check his statuette for a flight from New York's John F. Kennedy Airport bound for Frankfurt, Germany, on Wednesday. But a Transportation Security Administration agent said it couldn't go on board.
