Co-director of 2025 doc “Mr. Nobody Against Putin” says his Oscar is lost after it was confiscated by TSA

Documentarian David Borenstein says his Mr. Nobody Against Putin co-director, Pavel Talankin, had his Oscar confiscated by TSA at New York's JFK airport, and it's now lost.

Key Points

  • According to Borenstein, a TSA agent refused to allow Talankin to carry the Oscar onto his plane, requesting he place it in a box that was sent under the plane, but never arrived at its destination.

  • "Would Pavel have been treated the same way if he were a famous actor?" Borenstein questioned. "Or a fluent English speaker?"

It sounds like a case for Columbo.

Documentarian David Borenstein took to hisInstagramon Thursday to share an urgent plea: "An Oscar is missing," he wrote. "[Lufthansa], we need your help with this."

Borenstein and his co-director, Pavel Talankin, took home a pair of Oscars mere weeks ago, after their filmMr. Nobody Against Putinwon Best Documentary Feature Film at the 98thAcademy Awards. But Talankin has barely had the chance to enjoy this massive honor, Borenstein explained, after a snafu at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport resulted in his little gold man being confiscated, and now going missing.

"Yesterday he arrived at JFK ready to fly home to Europe, carrying the Oscar as a carry-on. I snapped the first picture here of him on his way out," Borenstein wrote, over a shot of a smiling Talankin weighted down with luggage. If you look closely, his gleaming Oscar rests in a netted bag slung over his right shoulder.

"At the airport, a TSA agent stopped him and said the Oscar could be used as a weapon. She wouldn't let him carry it on board," Borenstein claimed, explaining that their attempts to reason with the Transportation Security Administration agent were unsuccessful, so they "put the Oscar in a box and sent it to the bottom of the plane."

Borenstein included pictures of the box in question, which "never arrived in Frankfurt," and the lost baggage slip Talankin was given there.

Borenstein then speculated: "Would Pavel have been treated the same way if he were a famous actor? Or a fluent English speaker?"

He implored TSA and the airline Lufthansa to aid them in the search, and threw a Hail Mary by ending his post with the request, "If anyone else has ever had to check an Oscar statuette, I'd love to know."

Entertainment Weeklyhas reached out to representatives for TSA, the JFK Airport, Lufthansa, Talankin, and Borenstein for comment.

Talankin, a Russian schoolteacher, also stars inMr. Nobody Against Putin. The film begins as a simple chronicle of his class at a primary school in Karabash, a working class town in Western Russia, near the Kazakhstan border. But as the film unfolds, he also captures the transformation of the school from an impartial bastion of education to a propaganda-fueled disinformation site amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.

The directing duo also won the BAFTA Award for Best Documentary, and the Special Jury Award at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, where the film premiered.

How Ana Navarro is working around getting bleeped on 'The View'

NEW YORK –Ana Navarrois ready to tape her new podcast anytime, anywhere.

USA TODAY

TheCNNcontributor andABC "The View"cohost, 54, launched"Bleep! with Ana Navarro"earlier this year. While on Easter break in Costa Rica on April 9,First Lady Melania Trumpissued a statement at the White House in which she deniedhaving any involvementwith convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Navarro, armed with mobile recording equipment, hopped into action. And while the timing of the Trump's press conference befuddled some, Navarro believes that there was clearly a plan in place.

"She obviously didn't write that stuff herself, right?" she tells USA TODAY. "It was full of legalese. So yes, I think she got advice. I think she got help. But because of that, I've now done a couple of breaking news episodes of the podcast from a portable thing I have."

When Ana Navarro stopped by USA TODAY's New York studio, she brought along a very special guest: her pet dog Cha-Cha.

Navarro, anoutspoken criticof the Trump administration, teamed up with iHeartMedia and Hyphenate Media Group for her new podcast. Hyphenate was launched by actressEva Longoriaand media executive Cris Abrego. Longoria also serves as an executive producer of Navarro's podcast.

"There are not that many Latino voices breaking down news," Navarro says about why she continues to lean in to these news cycles. "One of the things that most touches me is anytime I'm in the supermarket or I'm at the airport and some young Latina comes up to me and tells me how much it means for them to have somebody like me speaking up on behalf of our community.

"It's like a privilege and a duty."

'The View' inspired Ana Navarro's new podcast

The title of Navarro's podcast is a playful jab at her other her day job.

"The problem is that I get bleeped at'The View,'"she explains. "Sometimes I try to say things in Spanish. So now (ABC is) to the point where if I say 'queso,' they will bleep me out because they don't know what I'm saying and they're nervous."

She will not be censored on her own show.

Navarro's goal with the podcast is to both interview interesting subjects and break down news items without the typical restrictions of cable or broadcast TV, where a cohost or panelist may only get a fraction of a 7 minute segment to speak.

But she still enjoys her work on TV, despite the occasionally "bleep" and her commute between New York and Miami. Navarro believes authenticity is the key to any successful show and is one of the reason why "The View" has lasted on ABC for almost 29 years.

"It's women from different backgrounds, different generations, different races, ethnicities, different takes on life, giving their opinions," she explains. Cohosts on the view range from age 36 (former White House strategic communications directorAlyssa Farah Griffin) to 83 (actress-comedianJoy Behar).

Navarro also credits the team behind the cameras, whom she calls "an entire family." She says some have worked there since the show's launch with Barbara Walters in 1997. "They run like a fine tuned Swiss watch and they keep the shows going."

Ana Navarro still wants to talk about 'The Bad Bunny Bowl'

It has been more than two months since the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots inSuper Bowl LX. Navarro couldn't tell you who played or what the final score was (29-13). But she can't stop replayingBad Bunny's halftime performance. She says that his halftime show,Karol G's Coachella setand other forms of entertainment are a part of her "concerted effort of doing things that take me away from doomscrolling about the things that are going on in the United States."

"I actually thought the halftime show itself was not tremendously political," she opines. "It was cultural and there were so many different threads and aspects of Latino culture that were woven in. I love the way that he brought Ricky Martin as an ode to those that came before him and that opened doors for him.

"There were some people so hung up here in the United States because he was singing in Spanish, because he's Bad Bunny, because he's Puerto Rican, which is part of America, but whatever," Navarro continues. "And then I see him filling up stadiums all over the world. And you see kids singing his songs and dancing to his music in villages in Africa. And you realize music is supposed to unite us, not divide us."
