'Moana' star gets whipped in head with a flag mid-Oscars performance
Oh, the perils of live performance.
Despite getting whipped in the head with a flag mid-performance, 16-year-old Moana star Auli'i Cravalho performed like a true professional at Sunday's Oscars.
Cravalho, who voices the titular Moana, sang "How Far I'll Go," the film's Oscar-nominated song.

Behind her, a group of background dancers waved large swaths of blue fabric, one of which caught her in the head mid song.

But don't worry about Cravalho. She took it in stride.

Auli'i Cravalho got hit in the head while singing at the #Oscars & still killed it. I, on the other hand, am still in PJs at 6:20pm #Moana
