"While biographical drama Dallas Buyers Club has picked up a slew of gongs and even more nominations this awards season, most of the strongest buzz has surrounded its two leading performances from Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto.  Digital Spy sat down with Leto recently to discuss his Oscar-nominated role as Rayon, a transgender woman whose relationship with fellow AIDS patient Ron Woodroof (McConaughey) gradually changes his perspective on the gay community.  &amp;quot;When you make a little movie like this, you&amp;#039;re lucky if it even comes out,&amp;quot; Leto said when asked whether the awards buzz had come as a surprise. &amp;quot;When you make arthouse films, they&amp;#039;re difficult to get made, difficult to find an audience, difficult to market, difficult to get into festivals, difficult, difficult, difficult.  &amp;quot;When they do work, and they find an audience, it&amp;#039;s great to celebrate them and the fact that this is getting such a tremendous response is incredible.&amp;quot; Leto also discussed McConaughey&amp;#039;s much-feted comeback from romantic comedies, and his reasons for staying in character throughout the shoot.  Matthew McConaughey on his comeback: &amp;#039;I had to un-brand myself&amp;#039; The McConaissance: Your guide to Matthew McConaughey&amp;#039;s comeback Dallas Buyers Club is released in the UK this Friday (February 7).
