Sunny Pawar and Dev Patel Won Hearts at the Oscars. Here Are Our Favourite Moments!

While viewers across the world who tuned in to watch the 89th Academy Awards – Oscars 2017 – are probably still recovering from the shocking twist of the wrong film being announced as the winner for Best Picture, there was something else at the awards that had everyone’s attention.

Be it chatting up interviewers at the famed red carpet in two languages or simply paying loving attention to mom, the lads of the acclaimed hit Lion, 8-year-old Sunny Pawar and Dev Patel seemed to be on a mission to steal hearts. And they certainly succeeded.

Here are our favourite moments from the duo at the Oscars:

All the while gushing with excitement over attending the Oscars.
