Noomi is apparently still busy shooting Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, hence the lack of news – but there was a sign of life yesterday when she attended the 13th Annual White Tie & Tiara Ball in Windsor, United Kingdom. Pictures from the event have been added to the gallery.
Big congratulations to Noomi for winning the 2011 Empire Award as Best Actress for “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”. She was nominated alongside Emma Watson (Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part One), Olivia Williams (The Ghost), Helena Bonham Carter (The King’s Speech) and this year’s Oscar winner Natalie Portman (The Black Swan). Regarding Rapace, Empire wrote, “Lisbeth Salander – the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo – is already a major literary heroine, and the unusual-looking, intense Rapace (not as tiny as the girl in the books, but otherwise ideal) is liable to become an international star with this role (which she’s reprised in the two already-made follow-ups). The best Euro action heroine since Anne Parillaud’s Nikita and the most influential female thriller lead since Jodie Foster’s Clarice Starling, Lisbeth is an interesting mix of credibly screwed-up victim and resourceful superheroine – making good use of a stun-gun, a dildo, a tattoo needle and a golf club in kicking against the pricks.” Pictures from the ceremony have been added to the gallery.
Additionally, four video clips from the Empire Awards have been added to the archive, including Noomi’s speech and interviews from the red carpet and the press room. Enjoy!
Better late than never, Noomi has attended the Yohji Yamamoto at the V&A exhibit in London on March 11, 2011. Pictures have been added to the gallery.
Noomi has been a guest at the Givenchy show at the 2011 Paris Fashion Week, two days ago. Pictures can be found in the gallery.
Yesterday, Noomi has attended the ELLE Style Awards 2011 in London. Pictures can be found in the gallery.
Here are the very first pictures of Noomi on the red carpet at the 2011 British Academy Awards. The Best Actress category is still to be announced, but some good news so far: “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” won Best Film not in the English Language! Check back later for more information and pictures. Edit: The Best Actress Award went to Natalie Portman for “Black Swan”.
Additional pictures from yesterday’s BAFTA Nominees Brunch, as well as the following party, have been added to the gallery. Thanks especially to Mariana for providing some fantastic HQ pictures. Don’t miss tonight’s BAFTAs, where Noomi is nominated as Best Actress for “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”.

A new talkshow appearance has been added to the video archive. On May 04, 2009, Noomi promoted “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” on the French talkshow “Le Grand Journal”.
Don’t miss the Critics Choice Movie Awards, airing tonight at 9pm/et on VH1. Noomi is nominated as Best Actress for “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” alongside Annette Bening, Natalie Portman, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Williams and Jennifer Lawrence. This will mark Noomi’s first appearance at a televised American awards ceremony, and – unless the Oscars don’t surprise us with some Noomi love – will probably be her only one since her performance was overlooked by most other award juries in the USA. Be sure to find all results, pictures and video on the Critics Choice Awards here tomorrow!
