Noomi has won the Satellite Award as Best Actress in a Drama for “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”. The film was also awarded as Best Foreign Language Film. Since the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards have passed Noomi as a potential nominee, it’s nice to see her mentioned with some international recognition for her stunning work. Noomi wasn’t present at the awards show since she is still filming the “Sherlock Holmes” sequel in London, but she sent a very nice recorded message, which you can see at the video archive.
