Best Actress: Shailene Woodley, 'Adrift'
Among the most frustratingly overlooked performances of the year was Shailene Woodley's portrayal of real-life survivor Tami Oldham Ashcraft in Adrift. In addition to displaying a whole spectrum of emotions, from the giddiness of young love to the paralyzing fear of imminent death, Woodley exceeded the physical challenges of the role: For much of the film, it's just the viewer and Woodley, as her character wrestles with solitude and memory. And by movie's end, you've developed genuine admiration and wonder. — Bret
