4. Hailee Steinfeld, 19

Being recognized by major film award institutions is no easy feat, and is even more impressive when it happens before you’re even old enough to drink. That’s the case with actress, model and singer, 19-year-old Hailee Steinfield. The Ender’s Game star was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role, an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, and a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role, for her portrayal of “Mattie Ross” in the 2010 film True Grit. Apart from acting, Steinfield was hired to be the face of Miu Miu in 2011, signed a record deal with Republic Records in 2015, and has gone on to have a hit single. She’s just getting started.
