Well, everyone else is doing it...

...and since we probably care even more than a lot of people, we put TONS of thought into this.
So, without further ado, one of those "lame" YouTube slideshow videos (with music!) of our ideal Hunger Games cast:




***the video is cut off for some reason, so just click on it to watch the video on YouTube's site***


EXPLANATIONS:
Finnick--Zac Efron: Yes, we know Finnick isn't in the first book. But doesn't Zac just seem perfect? Lol.
Cato--Sebastian Stan: Also known as Carter Baizen and "that weirdo guy from The Covenant." Doesn't he just looook the part? And he's also extra-creepy. :)
Glimmer--Brittany Snow or Hayden Panettiere: Really, how hard is it for Hollywood to find a gorgeous blonde? :P
Thresh--Stanislav Ianevski: He just seems perfect. That's all there is to it. Watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire if you don't believe us.
Prim--Elle Fanning: 1) She's not Dakota. 2) She's adorable. 3) We liked her in Benjamin Button.
Cinna--Hugh Dancy: This is not a comment on Hugh...just his acting and cuteness. :)
Gale--Adam Gregory: Don't know much about him, other than the fact that he's super-cute and not soft-looking. :)
Effie--Amy Poehler: She's so funny and cute and awesome.
Haymitch--Hugh Laurie: We love him. And, he would just do a wonderful job here--he's a superb actor. (PS--It's not the end of the world if Haymitch isn't fatty-fat-mcfattykins, and he IS supposed to be about 40.)
Peeta--Alex Pettyfer: "Why," you ask? We shouldn't have to answer that. This is the one we really won't budge on.
Katniss--Lucy Hale: We thought she really looked the part...don't know much about her as an actress, though.
