Justin Bieber Gives Hailee Steinfeld Oscar Nomination Congrats On Twitter

Hailee Steinfeld, who gave a bofo performance playing the tough and single-minded teenager / adult Mattie Ross in The Coen Brothers remake of the classic True Grit, was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in the 83rd Academy Awards on Tuesday.

Steinfeld's nomination triggered this tweet from singing icon Justin Bieber:

As well as a number of congratulatory tweets from the Twitterverse.

Hailee Steinfeld herself just got on Twitter, and is getting the hang of things, she didn't send a tweet indicating how she felt one way or another. But it's widely reported that she actually dreamed about getting an Oscar and now she's one more major step closer to the realization of that dream.

For an actor that doesn't have a long history, Steinfeld impressively held her own on the screen with heavyweights like Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and Josh Lucas. For someone who was nominated as Best Supporting Actress, the film appeared to be about her as the lead actor male or female.

Steinfeld carried True Grit as much as Jeff Bridges did, but the reason for her designation was due to what The Coen Brothers and her parents felt was her age and lack of experience.

Look for that issue to be a thing of the past, especially if Steinfeld wins on Oscar Sunday.
