Rooney Mara — nominee for lead actress in a drama and a Golden Globes novice — seemed eerily calm as she headed into the ballroom, dressed in a black Nina Ricci gown evocative of her Lisbeth Salander character in ‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.’
Looking as slender as a swan, the ‘Dragon Tattoo’ star was left largely unmolested by an excitable crowd that lost its mind over Harrison Ford and Meryl Streep, but seemed to miss her due to her low-key energy.
‘I feel very honored to be here,’ she said quietly. Award season has been fun, the young actress said, in part because fashion designers have been clamoring to dress her on the red carpet. ‘I feel very lucky that they’ve been so generous.’

That said, ‘The guys get all the luck’ when it comes to doing time on the red carpet, she said when asked the whereabouts of her costar Daniel Craig. ‘I think I’ll just see him inside.’
And as for a possible second installment in the ‘Dragon Tattoo’ series? Mara said she’s not preparing yet because if it gets the green light, filming won’t begin for a few months.
‘I’d be very excited if it did happen,’ she said — again, quietly.
