“In Julie and Julia and Night at the Museum 2, I play people who are a little more womanly. I’m excited to continue the exploration of being a woman, as opposed to being girly,” she says, although she allows of her Amelia Earhart in Museum: “I think she’s girly. It’s me, I’m girly. I’m only playing with the instrument I have to play with. I’m a girly girl.”

“I think I’m harder on myself than anyone else is – well,” she switches tracks, her voice picking up the perkiness of a daily affirmation. “I’m sure there are some bloggers who dislike me more than I dislike myself, and that is OK.”

When asked if Meryl Streep, who appears with her in Doubt and the forthcoming Julie & Julia, is stalking her: “She was signed on to play Julia Child before I was attached, so technically I’m stalking her, I guess. But that’s not going to surprise anybody reading this. That was a little bit of pressure going into Doubt – if she hates me, then we’ve got another movie, and she’d be like, ‘Oh, her.’ “

Several wonderful articles have been published this week about Miss Amy and today I’ve rounded some up. Be sure to pay special attention to The Washington Post as it’s my favorite and totally adorable! There was also two stunning photoshoot pics with it.

“Everyone’s always like: ‘You’re so typecast,’ ” Adams says, referring to the recent roles on her CV. “But actually, when I came out to L.A., I was always the bitchy girl.” What changed? “My hair!”

“I’ve never played super-dark in a film. I think I’d be curious to do it. If a character comes along that I find really compelling and it works out that the director wants to go that direction with me, I’m totally willing to try. I’ve actually auditioned, but I think people have a hard time making the leap from — I don’t want to use this as a cop-out, but my energy is not dark, my being is not dark.”

“Oh, gosh — I can be very dark,” she says. “Of course I can. . . . Light can’t exist without dark. It just can’t. But if my darkness comes out in public, people are going to be so confused, like, ‘Who’s this girl?’ I become very Eeyore.” She sighs, just like the mopey Winnie-the-Pooh sidekick, and suddenly you can envision her curled up on the couch at home, watching Dr. Phil in her pajamas.

“I’m actually a lot of fun! I’m a hoot!”

Amy Adams tells Extra:

“I am so honored to be nominated by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for Doubt, along with John Patrick Shanley, Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Viola Davis. Helping to bring John’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play to the screen was one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.”

Variety is reporting that Amy Adams will be honored with the Spotlight Award for her performance in Doubt at the 20th annual Palm Springs Film Festival.

The award, which honors a supporting performance during the preceding year, will be awarded to Adams on Jan. 6th, 2009.

Huge congrats to Amy! She has been nominated for her performance in Doubt at the 66th Annual Golden Globes!
