"Met at the Globes and she is super talented. CONGRATS to Hailee Steinfeld for being 14 and getting nominated for an OSCAR for TRUE GRIT!" the singer tweeted.

Regarding the good news, the teen starlet told the "Today" show she wasn't even awake when the [article id="1656612"]Oscar announcement was made[/article]. "I was asleep and I heard my mom and dad screaming in the other room. They came in my room with flowers," she said. "It was very exciting. It's incredible. I'm in shock. The film overall is incredible. To be a part of it all was amazing. I'm so proud of it all."

Steinfeld, who made her feature-film debut with "True Grit," will be [article id="1656587"]competing against some film veterans[/article], including Amy Adams ("The Fighter"), Helena Bonham Carter ("The King's Speech"), Melissa Leo ("The Fighter") and Jacki Weaver ("The Animal Kingdom").

As for future roles, when MTV News' Josh Horowitz sat down with the actress, he asked about her possible role in the dystopian young-adult novel-turned-film "The Hunger Games."

"That's definitely an honor," Hailee said. "I didn't even realize that people were mentioning my name. And, again, it's every actor's dream to be recognized for something that they love to do, and to get recognized for that is pretty amazing. I thank the people out there who think that. That would definitely be an honor."
