#Oscars2017: No trophy, but Mumbai kid Sunny Pawar floors Hollywood

LOS ANGELES: While everyone is busy congratulating Casey Affleck for his Academy Award win, Hollywood veteran Samuel L Jackson feels the little star from India Sunny Pawar deserved the best actor trophy.

The eight-year-old boy from Mumbai won everyone's heart at the Oscars where he shared an adorable moment with Jackson.

The 68-year-old star took to Instagram to post a photo with Sunny, who essayed the role of young Saroo Brierley in Garth Davis' ' Lion'.

"This is who should have won Best Actor tonight, Sunny Pawar of Lion! Totally Killed It!" Jackson wrote along side the picture.
