The Divergent star not only picked up the Trailblazer Award and the Best Female Performance, Movie of the Year and Best Kiss trophies for The Fault in Our Stars, but she also had celebrities heap praise on her.

Handing her the Trailblazer honour, pal and co-star Miles Teller recalled meeting the actress for the first time four years ago, stating, "We met for coffee; Shailene brought her own mason jar full of water, which she hiked to, like, a spring several miles to get."

He added, "I honestly can say I've never been in a room with somebody who emits more of a radiant, positive light. Shailene is an incredible force of nature."

Later, after she collected the night's Best Kiss award - joking that locking lips with The Fault in Our Stars love interest and Divergent sibling Ansel Elgort was like kissing "your brother" and "kinda great", model and actress Cara Delevingne said, "Shailene is doing so well tonight... She's amazing."

Woodley wasn't the only multiple winner - Zac Efron took home the Best Shirtless Performance and shared the Best Duo prize with his Neighbors co-star Dave Franco, and The Maze Runner star Dylan O'Brien was a triple winner, picking up Best Hero, Breakthrough Performance and Best Fight honours.

Other big winners included Bradley Cooper (Best Male Performance), Meryl Streep (Best Villain), Robert Downey, Jr. (Generation Award), Channing Tatum (Best Comedic Performance), and Kevin Hart (Comedic Genius Award).

Hosted by comedienne Amy Schumer, the 2015 MTV Movie Awards took place at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles and featured live performances from Fall Out Boy, Fetty Wap, Charli XCX and Ty Dolla Sign.
