Shailene Woodley may be the Oscar front-runner for next year's best actress category. Many award experts are predicting that Woodley could get a nomination for her path breaking performance in "The Fault in Our Stars."
In the film, Woodley plays a cancer-stricken teenager, Hazel Grace, who falls in love with another patient played by Ansel Elgort. She received lots of praises for her role and some critics even pointed that her performance is "Oscar worthy." Peter Travers from Rolling Stones suggested that Woodley is a "Sublime actress with a résumé that pretty much proves she's incapable of making a false move on camera."
The Hollywood Reporter analyst has listed Woodley in the predicted list of Oscar nominees along with Julianne Moore for "Still Alice", Felicity Jones for "The Theory of Everything," Reese Witherspoon for "Wild" and Rosamund Pike for "Gone Girl."
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old actress was recently seen at the special screen of her movie, "White Bird in a Blizzard" at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema in New York City. She was seen in a casual jumpsuit with a head band.
In the film, Woodley plays a teenage girl whose life is changed when her mother, played by Eva Green, disappears. She also has some steamy sex scenes in the film directed by Gregg Araki.
Based on Laura Kasischke's book by the same named, "White Bird in a Blizzard", opened to rave reviews at Sundance film festival.
"Yeah, it is. There's a difference between sex being exploitive in a film and it being truthful and lending to a character development and to the storyline. Another thing I love about Gregg's films is that he's daring with sexuality and he doesn't hide from it and he doesn't mask it," Woodley said about the film to Crave Online.
"White Bird in a Blizzard" is slated to release on 24 October in USA. Woodley will also be seen in "Divergent" sequel "Insurgent" where she will be reprising her role Tris. The shooting of the film is over and is currently in postproduction stage.
