Hailee Steinfeld, Haley Joel Osment & The Youngest Nominees in Oscar History

Did you know that pop star Hailee Steinfeld is already an Oscar nominee? Her performance in 2010′s True Grit had everyone asking, “Who’s that?!” At age 14, that role not only launched her career, it earned her a Best Supporting Actress nomination.

Quvenzhane Wallis is the youngest Best Actress nominee in the category’s history at 9 years old for Beasts of the Southern Wild. Go, Q, go!

If you haven’t seen Little Miss Sunshine, it’s time to Netflix it, because Abigail Breslin‘s (aka Chanel #5 in Scream Queens) amazing performance scored her a Best Supporting Actress nomination at age 10. It’s a classic, trust us.

Keisha Castle-Hughes was a totally unknown actress when she landed the movie Whale Rider. Her heart-wrenching performance makes her one of only a few young actresses who scored a nomination for Best Actress, as opposed to Supporting Actress. She was only 13!

Saoirse Ronan got her Best Supporting Actress nomination for Atonement in 2007 when she had just officially become at teen at age 13.

Anna Paquin was more surprised than anyone that she won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar at age 11 for her performance in 1993′s The Piano.

Tatum O’Neal is the youngest person to ever win an Oscar at age 10. Um, yeah, she would have been in 4th or 5th grade at the time, can you imagine? She won Best Supporting Actress for the 1973 movie Paper Moon.

Mary Badham was 10 years old when she received a Best Supporting Actress nomination for her role in To Kill a Mockingbird.
