Hi Huneybees,
Shailene Woodley, the young and well built, 23-year-old Hollywood star from the Divergent series has been chosen to receive the "MTV Trailblazer Award" at this year's "MTV Movie Awards". She will be the fourth recipient of the award following Emma Watson, Emma Stone and Channing Tatum.
The award will be presented to her by her "Insurgent" co-star Miles Teller on the LIVE telecast of the 2015 “MTV Movie Awards” on Monday, 13 April from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, California.
Over the past few years, she has shot to fame, tackling all sorts of roles after a breakout performance acting across George Clooney in "The Descendants" in 2011, and then going on to "White Bird in a Blizzard", "Divergent", "The Fault in Our Stars" and her latest performance - "The Divergent Series: Insurgent".
“Shailene Woodley is one of the most talented actresses of this generation. Whether baring her soul in emotionally charged roles in “The Descendents” and “The Fault In Our Stars” or igniting our imagination in sci-fi blockbusters like “Insurgent"; Shailene has raised the bar for actresses navigating diverse and challenging roles professionally, while personally remaining down-to-earth and accessible to her fans.” --- Stephen Friedman, President of MTV
Among the many accolades, she received for her work in the film were a 2012 Independent Spirit Award® for Best Supporting Actress, the National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actress, a Golden Globe® nomination and a Critics Choice award nomination.
Just prior, Woodley starred in “The Spectacular Now” opposite Miles Teller. The co-stars shared the Special Jury Prize for Dramatic Acting at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2013; and Woodley was nominated for a Gotham Award, and an Independent Spirit Award® for Best Actress. She also starred in the dramatic film “White Bird in a Blizzard” for director Gregg Araki, which premiered at Sundance in January 2014.
Up next, Woodley will appear in Oliver Stone’s untitled drama based on the life of Edward Snowden.
The 2015 “MTV Movie Awards” will be hosted by the super funny Amy Schumer and it will once again officially kick-off the summer movie season, promising to deliver yet another epically funny, unpredictable, over-the-top show that features fan favourite films, actors and musicians, whilst honouring the best films and performances from the past year, while featuring exclusive, never-before-seen moments from some of the most highly anticipated upcoming films.
2015 “MTV Movie Awards” will Air Live on Monday, 13 April at 7am (TH/WIB), 8am (PH/SG) and 9am (MY) from the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles, California. It repeats on the same day at 6.30pm (WIB), 7.30pm (SG) and 8.30pm (MY).
