Just when you thought the best actress category seemed like a lock, Hailee Steinfeld has just entered the Oscar race with Edge of Seventeen. The young starlet has already broken barriers in the best supporting actress category but now it seems like she may have successfully made the jump to leading lady. Will Steinfeld make history in the best actress category this go ‘round?
Steinfeld received her first (and so far only) Oscar nomination for the role of Mattie Ross in 2010’s True Grit — in which she starred alongside Jeff Bridges. While the Ethan Coen– and Joel Coen-directed film didn’t result in a win (it went to Melissa Leo from The Fighter), Steinfeld earned a spot in the history books as the ninth youngest nominee in Oscar history — thus far, at least — having been 14 years and 45 days old.
