There's no doubt about how wonderful is Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salander in the Millenium Trilogy movies, but will she captivate the Oscar voters?
The late news about an English language adaptation of the Swedish bestseller book may open some eyes: people will be curious about the Swedish movies and will see them. The final result is a great movie with a spetacular performance from Noomi Rapace. She melt into Lisbeth Salander with such a intensity that she doesn't seem being acting, she seems a true question point in a very natural way, and the character isn't an easy one: it's a very complex one and it's a kind of litterally heroine for a lot of the Millenium Trilogy readers.

She was nominated for the European Film Award of Best Actress and was one of the favorites alongside Kate Winslet, but lost to Kate's Oscar winner performance in The Reader, but there's a fact that you can't forget: the Academy love foreign actresses (Marion Cotillard for La Vie en Rose, Penelope Cruz for Volver, Fernanda Montenegro for Central Station, Rinko Kikuchi and Adriana Barraza for Babel, Sophia Loren for Two Women and Marriage Italian-Style,...) and may look to Rapace as a foreign Oscar nod deserver (besides the fact that the Millenium series movies have been very acclaimed in USA, specially The Girl With Dragon Tattoo). This year the Oscar race for Best Leading Actress doesn't seem hard to beat, but there's a lot of famous faces as contenders and Noomi Rapace may be forgetten in an unfair way. But there's a bad thing that may put Rapace's nomination more difficult to get: The Girl With Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played With Fire released in USA in the same year, which can divide Oscar voters (in spite the fact that's much more probable that the voters will choose her performance in the first installment, the most critically well-received of the two).
I will keep my fingers crossed for Noomi Rapace.
