Eurogamer: The Last of Us star Ashley Johnson stole the show at the BAFTA Game Awards last night with an emotional acceptance speech for her role as Ellie. Johnson won the Performer in 2015 award for her work on The Last of Us DLC Left Behind, and took to the stage at the Tobacco Dock in London last night to thank her colleagues at Naughty Dog. "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."
