"Keala performed the song and her story inspired the song...so we thank you," they said.

In a previous interview with the Herald, Settle spoke about her struggles to fit in as someone with Maori, American, Pacific Island and European heritage.

It was that struggle which saw her nail her performance of This Is Me and land the scene-stealing role in the film.

This Is Me won over original numbers from Mudbound (by Mary J Blige), The Star (by Mariah Carey), Ferdinand (by Nick Jonas), and Coco (sung by Miguel).

The Greatest Showman is also up for Best Original Picture—Musical or Comedy, and Best Actor (for Jackman).
