Despicable Me and Eighth Grade star Elsie Fisher is clearly as unhappy about the recent Oscar noms as the rest of us; she thus unveiled her first ever Elsie Awards with the help of some other collaborators, including filmmaker Clementine Narcisse and illustrator Julian Glander:
I’ve decided to start my own film awards because sometimes other ones suck, so here are the nominations for the first annual Elsie Awards

Fisher emphasised that 'in my heart though, all of the nominees, and other films/people that weren’t listed, more than deserve to be recognized for their efforts'. When pressed on why Joker did not receive more nominations, Fisher defended her selections:
