And she will be tackling her on-screen lesbian lover Cate Blanchett as she bids to win her first Golden Globe, after previously being nominated in 2011 for her turn in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
But it could be the couple end up thwarting each other's chances, as they are also up against the likes of Brie Larson, Saoirse Ronan and Alicia Vikander in the best actress in a motion picture - drama category.
Rooney has already drawn first blood in her battle against her more celebrated co-star, as she won the best actress prize at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.

However the heavyweights have been kept apart at the forthcoming Screen Actors Guild Awards as she was given to a mere best supporting actress nod, though this may result in a dream double win for the on-screen lovers.
Whatever happens, she already has bragging rights in her ongoing sisterly rivallry with fellow actress Kate Mara.
While Rooney has won acclaim for her turn as a shop assistant who falls for a glamorous blonde society woman, her elder sister's turn as the Invisible Woman in the disastrous Fox reboot Fantastic Four was as instantly forgettable as the film itself.
