Shailene Woodley’s breakthrough role came in 2011’s The Descendants in which she played George Clooney’s young daughter. The film, directed by Alexander Payne, won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay and the cast earned Screen Actors Guild and Critics’ Choice Movie Awards nominations. Woodley was also singled out for her performance, earning Best Supporting Actress Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice nominations and wins in that category at the Spirit Awards and from the National Board of Review. Since the release of The Descendants, Woodley’s gone on to earn praise in The Spectacular Now as well as the film adaptation of the first book in Veronica Roth’s young adult series, Divergent.
