She was detained after ignoring police warnings to stay off the street in front of the building where the awards ceremony was being held and where a crowd of about 50 Occupy Wall Street protesters were rallying.

It was unclear what charges Wolf might face, if any.

Most people detained during the month-long protests have been arrested on misdemeanors.

Wolf is a political activist and author of the best-selling book The Beauty Myth. She is a regular contributor to The Huffington Post.
