Oscars 2017: 8 Ups And 6 Downs

7. The Lion King

Oscars 2017 Jimmy Kimmel Sunny Pawar

Sunny Pawar has been stealing hearts all awards season, the super cute star of Lion quickly becoming everyone's favourite child actor.

So, of course, he got to play a part in the Oscars, being asked what his favourite candy was before being hoisted into the air by Jimmy Kimmel while Circle of Life played out around the auditorium. Pawar then answered the question, stating "Lemonheads and Mike and Ikes" to 'awws' from the entire audience and viewers at home.

If they're looking for a young Simba for the Lion King remake, they could do a lot worse.
