In 1995, she won the ShoWest Award for "Young Star of the Year." Her performances in those films caught the attention of Danny DeVito and led to her being cast as the title character in "Matilda", adapted from the popular children's book by author Roald Dahl. Wilson won a Young Artist Award for her role in A Simple Wish in "Best Performance in a Feature Film Leading Young Actress" and a Young Star Award for Matilda in "Best Performance by a Young Actress in a Comedy Film." She was twice nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Performance by a Younger Actor for both Matilda and A Simple Wish. Her appearance in the 2000 film Thomas and the Magic Railroad was her last major film role to date. As she grew older se began to relise her need for acting. She has now stared in 27 films as a young actress.

In 1993, Wilson had a recurring role as Nikkie Petrova on the prime time soap opera Melrose Place. She also played Barbara Barton in the 1994 television film A Time to Heal; and Willow Johnson in the 1999 television film Balloon Farm.

Wilson sang "Make 'Em Laugh" at the 67th Academy Awards telecast on March 27, 1995, with Tim Curry and Kathy Najimy.[9]

In January 2012, Wilson appeared briefly in one episode of a web series called Missed Connection in the role of Bitty.
