The awards season is just beginning and on Variety we already have an interesting "Actor on Actor" article by the lovely Kate Winslet in which she praises Evan's performance in The Ides of March.
"Evan could have gone very hysterical with this role. She could have dressed it up much more than she did and been more showy. But she looked like an intern. She looked like a girl in an office. Evan kept that character human. She was just a girl who had got herself in an uncomfortable situation. And I felt as though she played the honesty of that scenario. She didn't resort to any clever diverting tactics that could have added other colors to the character. They would have been, in my opinion, the wrong colors. Evan is smart enough to know not to go down those roads.I am a very big fan of her opening scene with Ryan Gosling. Pretty much everything that came out of her mouth was not a statement. It was a question! I was like, 'Wow! One. Two. Three. Four. Oh my god! Eight. Nine. Oh my God!' Her last two lines in the scene are not questions and that's pretty much it! I was quite taken aback by that. As an acting thing, that's very difficult to do. Especially in a scene with one other person who happens to be a man who you need to let the audience know you are inevitably going to be having some kind of relationship with. She covered so much in a tiny scene. Also, there's the scene with Ryan in bed when there's the mixup with the mobile phone -- the way that she handled that scene was incredibly graceful. She could have gone all-out hysteria. It could have been an ugly, ugly scene to watch. But what she did very cleverly was force us to listen to her and to sympathize, to emphasize. That scene pulled me deeper into the movie."more after the jump!
Another Aussie interview has been released, the movie will come out tomorrow there and they're promoting it right now.

On the sex scene with Ryan Gosling: "That was not a hard day at work at all," she laughs heartily. "We'd got to know each other so well by then we were just laughing the whole time. Those scenes are always hilarious to film. They are never really sexy. George was literally five feet away from us with the camera. I never thought that I would be simulating sex in front of George Clooney, but that is my job."
