See more photos of Elizabeth on the red carpet and receiving the Excellence in Acting Award at Cinema Con HERE.
We can't wait to see Effie's monarch butterfly dress in the movie!! We're almost certain it's this Alexander McQueen Spring 2011 dress of hand-painted feathers:

Jennifer took the stage with Silver Linings Playbook producer and Weinstein Company head Harvey Weinstein to honor Bill Clinton. While on stage, Jen referenced her Academy Award fall and then promptly flubbed Bill Clinton's name. She may be the only person in the world who can get away with botching a former President's name. We love you, Jen!

Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, and director Francis Lawrence were on hand to present The Hunger Games: Catching Fire teaser trailer at Lionsgate's Cinema Con panel today. While no new footage was presented, we do know that the movie has officially wrapped, and the trailer will premiere in theatres in two weeks, ahead of Iron Man 3.
Director Francis Lawrence revealed that he was still "furiously" cutting the film. Hemsworth kicked in a vote of confidence. "I know that he's not going to disappoint anyone," he said.
"I think we've actually been able to really ratchet up the emotion and the scope this time," said Francis Lawrence.
Keeping in the vein of Effie, her pragmatic, image-conscious character, Elizabeth Banks gave a nod to the studio's early marketing efforts.
"They're getting really excited," she said of Lionsgate. "They're kicking it into overdrive on this one."

Josh Hutcherson, and his celebrity friends hit the court for a competitive and highly entertaining basketball game. All net proceeds from the game went to raise funds and increase awareness for Josh's charity, Straight But Not Narrow.
The Josh Hutcherson Celebrity Basketball Game will be back again this year, Friday, August 9th, 2013. The fun starts at 7:00pm in Nokia Plaza in Los Angeles, CA. Get tickets HERE.

Sadly, no new footage was revealed at Lionsgate's presentation this afternoon. Though the studio did get a snazzy new logo:
Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, and director Francis Lawrence were on hand to introduce the teaser trailer and Lawrence says the film is officially wrapped and he's busy cutting it. The trailer will premiere in theatres in 2 weeks ahead of Iron Man 3! At least we'll all be able to enjoy it on the big screen.

When the last Hunger Games Explorer image started to un-blur itself last Saturday, we thought the dress Effie was wearing looked an awful lot like Alexander McQueen:
Turns out our normally useless, totally random fashion knowledge is good for something! Alexander McQueen confirmed that the dress is indeed McQueen Autumn/Winter 2012. Effie Upgrade!
