They asked me to bring along the Oscar, the actor told Deadline on theOscarsred carpet tonight.

Eventually, he put the Oscar back in his jeep.

But then Kotsurs jeep was stolen.

Thank God for technology and GPS because the cops found my car in less than two hours.

First thing, I thought was the Oscar.

Is it still there?

It was there, Kotsur said.

How did the kids overlook the Oscar?

I dont think they even noticed it.

I really hope somebody tells those kids.

Maybe, if I showed up in person, Id ask them, How did you like my jeep?

How did it drive?'

I didnt want to break my contract, Kotsur said, It really scared me when that happened.

Now the Oscar is safe at home.
