Hailee Steinfeld chats with ET Canada about her Academy Award nomination and her whirlwind year or success.
Here’s what the 14-year-old True Grit actress had to share:
On how she found out about her Oscar nod: “I was asleep and I woke up to my parents screaming in the other room and they had the TV turned up really loud so I heard the announcement.”
On her initial reaction to the nomination: “I was really hoping for True Grit overall and it’s really overwhelming. I have to admit I am in shock. Just a year ago I was auditioning for the role and thinking to myself, whoever gets this is like winning the lottery. To me, that right there is just such a huge award and with this coming with it, it’s so surreal … It freaks me out to think it’s all happened in a year. It’s so rare.”
On her last acting gig: “Before True Grit, I actually filmed a Nickelodeon pilot called Summer Camp. It’s kind of interesting because after I filmed that, we were going to find out whether it got picked up or not. That was the same time I was going to find out if I got True Grit or not. So it was kind of like two different routes and wondering where I was going to go.”
On being rumored to be considered for The Hunger Games: “Woo! I am a fan. I’m reading the books right now. They’re amazing. Yeah [I'd do it]!”
