Is This Banksy's Street-Art Response to His Oscar Loss?

Banksy's L.A. street art rampage seemed to come to a sudden halt after Exit Through the Giftshop lost the Best Documentary Oscar to Inside Job. But now a new piece has surfaced in the U.K. that indeed looks like a possible response to the outcome from Banksy. Keeping in mind that the piece seems to reference this video where that adorable kid broke the Oscar, go ahead and interpret away. Of course, as one Melrose and Fairfax commenter pointed out, it's also possible that the work is a fake by somebody who just added an Oscar statue to this stencil. Ah, the subjective nature of art! Click through and decide for yourself.
