Earning her acting stripes ...as an Oscar hopeful at 7!

- By Clemmie Moodie Associate Showbusine­ss Editor

SHE already lists Angelina Jolie and Emma Watson among her celebrity friends.

And now Brooklynn Prince is tipped for an Oscar nomination – aged just seven.

Hollywood’s newest starlet is said to be the talk of the movie industry after her performanc­e in The Florida Project, which was out earlier this month, and could soon star alongside Miss Jolie in a Disney film.

Variety magazine has also named her as an early contender for Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards in March. If successful, she would break the previous record for youngest winner – held by Tatum O’Neal, who won at the age of ten in 1974. The youngest nominee was Quvenzhane Wallis, shortliste­d in 2013 aged nine.

Brooklynn, from Florida, said: ‘I’m loving it. There’s not a day where I think “Oh no, I’m on set”. It’s just the greatest experience. It’s all in God’s hands but if I got an Oscar, I’d be so happy. I’d have a big party with all my family.

‘I have always watched the Oscars and wondered what actors felt when their name was called.’ The nomination­s are announced on January 23.
