PETA said their "youthful energy" was what gave them the edge over the other nominees.

"Jared Leto has been vegetarian since he was a teenager, and he switched to a vegan lifestyle just a few years later after learning about the presence of pus in dairy products," PETA wrote on its website of the 30 Seconds to Mars frontman. "The benefits of his vegan eating sure do show! Jared is 42 years old and arguably hasn't aged in 20 years!"

PETA wrote of Page, who most recently starred in X-Men: Days of Future Past: "Bursting onto the scene in 2007s hit movie Juno, then-20-year-old Ellen Page was as fresh-faced as one could be. Seven years later, she has remained just as radiant."
