Found a great interview Daniel and Rooney did with an outlet from India. Great questions, insightful answers. Have a watch!

It seems this is just a highlights version, will replace with the full video if it surfaces.

CONGRATS TO ROONEY!! She is on the COVER of the annual Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue, alongside fellow rising actresses Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska (some of my FAVORITES!). SO happy for her and what a beautiful shoot! Surely more to come as Vanity Fair continues to add to their coverage so check back!

The issue goes on sale on February 7, so HQ scans then!

More reaction coming your way from the newly minted Oscar nominee! Here’s Rooney talking to E! Online. Thanks to Lu for the head’s up on this one!

LOL this is hilarious.

Here’s Rooney and Daniel on Le Grand Journal in Paris, plus an extra interview they did on the same day. They are dubbed, but you can still hear them underneath the translation. :) Caps soon!

Rooney is nearly unrecognizable in a new photoshoot in the February issue of W Magazine, which features the Best Performances on film in 2011. Congrats to Rooney on being in the company of people like Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron, “Dragon Tattoo” co-star Christoper Plummer and fellow rising stars like Elizabeth Olsen and Shailene Woodley. I’ll try to get an HQ scan up soon!

“For a year, I was Lisbeth Salander—I only wore black; I lived her life. Before this movie, I didn’t even have pierced ears. They put four holes in each ear, and my eyebrow and nipple were pierced. The only thing that concerned me was riding the motorcycle. I wasn’t nervous about the anal rape scene, but the motorcycle had me worried.”

So unfortunately the National Board of Review Gala, where Rooney won Breakthrough Performance last night, is not televised nor put up online, so here are a bunch of new pictures from the event (including Rooney making her speech and posing with her award backstage) and also some highlights from people who attended.

Plummer then returned to the stage, this time as a presenter of one of the night’s two best breakthrough performance awards to his The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo co-star Rooney Mara, who is widely regarded as being on-the-bubble for a best actress Oscar nomination. Mara’s standing in the minds of many attendees was boosted immensely by both Plummer’s uncharacteristically gushing introduction (“She recently burst upon the scene with a force Joan of Arc would have envied … with a fearlessness and courage I have not seen in a hell of a long time”) and her own eloquent, humble and heartfelt acceptance speech (“I’m more nervous about standing up here than I was about anything I had to do in the movie; I don’t know if you’ve seen the film, but that’s saying a lot”).

Elsewhere, Breakthrough Directorial Debut winner J.C. Chandor (“Margin Call”) became visibly emotional after delivering a four-minute (!) speech, Breakthough Performance winner Rooney Mara sang praises of her “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” director David Fincher, despite him urging her not to do so via email a few hours earlier, and presenter Naomi Watts thanked her director on “The Ring,” Gore Verbinski (there to accept the Best Animated Feature award for “Rango”), for teaching her how to scream.
