In the video, “For your Consideration,” Fitzpatrick plays Hathaway’s character Fantine. With her short hair and grungy look, Fitzpatrick sings why Hathaway is deserving of a win on Oscar night.

“I coughed and wheezed and cried in every scene until I died,” she sings. “And I lost half my body weight but then they never did a wide shot.”
