Move Over, Little Women: Roman Griffin Davis And Archie Yates Are The Oscars's Little Men

One of the most endearing parts of the very endearing film Jojo Rabbit — a.K.A Moonrise Kingdom with Nazis — is the excellent friendship between the young characters played by Roman Griffin Davis and Archie Yates. They cross paths during the film, most hilariously at the end, any time Archie's preteen Yorki has been conscripted into warfare, although their deep bond remains solid despite Jojo's own wild emotional journey.


So it makes a lot of sense that the pair would carry that adorable friendship from the big screen onto the Oscars red carpet on Sunday night (February 9). First and foremost, they looked like absolutely brilliant little males, resplendent in their tuxedos and prepared to create a grand entrance into the Dolby Theatre.


Secondly (and most crucially), 10-year-old Archie didn't miss his moment to clown his mate. Because the two embraced and flashed peace signs to the flood of photographers in front of those — something Jojo Rabbit's awards circuit has surely made them pros at by right now — 12-year-old Roman's head grew a unexpected new pair of ears, thanks to Archie's fingers in back of his head. More like Jojo Bunny (Ears)!


Jojo Rabbit is up for six Academy Awards tonight, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, and more. Follow and also all of MTV News's Oscars coverage right here.
