Moana actress gets hit on the head with a flag during live performance

Cape Town – Moana star Auli’i Cravalho made her big Academy Award debut on Sunday. 

The Disney actress performed the nominated song How Far I’ll Go.

Clad in a stunning red dress and surrounded by dancers who created waves with flags the young star gave a flawless performance. 

There was one hiccup though while singing as she was accidentally hit on the head by a flag twirler.

Like the pro that she is she just continued singing like nothing happened.
