The 24-year-old took to Twitter to express her delight at the nomination for best original song, saying: "Oh my God I feel like Meryl Streep!! Thank you."
Adele will reportedly make her first appearance since giving birth at this year's Oscars.
The multiple-Grammy-winninger singer is critics favourite to bag the trophy for her rendition of 'Skyfall'.
Adele's song is facing competition from Before My time from 'Chasing Ice', Pi's Lullaby from 'Life Of Pi' where India's Bombay Jayashri is nominated with composer Michael Danna, Suddenly from 'Les Miserables' and Everybody Needs a Best Friend from 'Ted'.
