Ashley Johnson wins BAFTA for The Last of Us, full list of winners for British Academy Video Games Awards

March 13, 2015 by Kris Wall

Last night, Ashley Johnson won the BAFTA Award for Best Performance in a Video Game for reprising her role as Ellie in The Last of Us for its DLC prequel, Left Behind.

Taking to the stage at the Tobacco Dock in London to thank her co-star, Troy Baker and the creative team at Naughty Dog, she delivered a truly wonderful speech.

“I feel so lucky I got to play Ellie,” she said. “I’m so proud I got to play a strong female character who isn’t sexualised, or a damsel in distress, or even the opposite of that.

“Ellie is vulnerable and she’s kind and she’s loyal and she’s the girl who probably wouldn’t have fit in at school. And at times she was also allowed to be scared.”

And with a nod to Leonard Nimoy, who famously played Spock in Star Trek, Johnson closed out her speech.

“This is for the tomboys, and the misfits, and the weirdos, and the outcasts, and the ones who didn’t really fit in. You can sit at my table. Live long and prosper.”

Here’s the rest of the video game BAFTA results:

  • Best Game in 2015: Destiny
