It’s Jenny the miniature donkey from Oscar-nominated dramedy The Banshees of Inisherin! Well, it’s not actually the Jenny the miniature donkey, but it’s an adorable donkey to pay homage to Jenny the miniature donkey.

Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel brought out an adorable donkey during the show, with the camera moving over to show the elated stars of the Ireland-set film.

Jenny plays a crucial role in The Banshees of Inisherin, and she became one of the true breakouts of the film that was nominated for Best Picture.

Everybody loves animals, and they especially love them when they unexpectedly show up at the Academy Awards. Animals are the best.

This donkey might walk away one of the real winners from this year’s Oscars. Everyone in the world who watched the show is now going to want to meet this adorable donkey and give it pets and treats.

While winning an Oscar is great, winning global adoration for being an adorable donkey is even better.
