"I was kind of half-asleep. We'd had three premieres in three countries in three nights, so I was kind of half-asleep," Rooney explained on Today about finding out she was nominated. "I kind of forgot that that was happening, so I was very surprised."

And while Rooney doesn't smile much as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, she couldn't help but smile when discussing her nomination.

Congratulations, Rooney!
