Fresh off her Emmy win for guest actress for Paradise, Shailene Woodley is getting a promotion.
The actress will be submitted as a supporting actress for Season 2 of the hit Hulu series for the upcoming winter awards season, Gold Derby has learned exclusively. Of course, the reason is strategic as well as logistical: Most of the upcoming awards don’t have guest categories, and it would be in the studio’s best interest to include a recent award winner in its lineup.
Woodley starred in the series as Annie, a medical school dropout turned tour guide of Graceland, whose survival storyline intersected with Xavier (Sterling K. Brown) during his search for his wife, Teri. “I think the reason people loved Annie in particular is because she represented someone who had not trained for resiliency,” Woodley told Gold Derby. “She just happened to be in a position where she was forced to become resilient and forced to exercise that which already existed within her, in an unfortunate environment.”
Woodley will be submitted for Supporting Actress across all major awards alongside her castmates Julianne Nicholson (Sinatra), Nicole Brydon Bloom (Jane), Krys Marshall (Nicole Robinson), Enuka Okuma (Teri), Sarah Shahi (Gabriela), and Aliyah Mastin (Presley).
