Happy Birthday, Katniss!
Lionsgate

It's May 8, and while that might not mean much to everyone, it sure matters to "The Hunger Games" fans. It's Katniss' birthday, after all!
The cargo pants-clad, bow and arrow-wielding heroine of "The Hunger Games" will be an eternal teenager, of course (because, sadly, she's fictional), but we like to think of Katniss Everdeen as a near and dear friend and are celebrating it just the same. Get More »

It's 'The Hunger Games' vs. 'Bridesmaids' at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards
Lionsgate
Katniss Everdeen may have survived the Games, but we'll have to see how she fares against Kristen Wiig and her band of crazies — or, rather, ladies — as "The Hunger Games" and "Bridesmaids" lead the 2012 MTV Movie Award nominations with eight apiece, including Movie of the Year.
That's not a typo: The usually dominant "Twilight" series and its 2011 entry, "Breaking Dawn - Part 1," nabbed only two nominations (Movie of the Year and Best Kiss), while movies like "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2," (six noms) "21 Jump Street" (six) and "The Help" (four) fared better and will have more chances at bringing home Golden Popcorn statues.

Now, however, the first box office figures for "The Avengers" are trickling in from overseas — and it's starting to look like "The Hunger Games" may not even turn out to be the biggest movie of the spring.
Sorry, Katniss, but Hulk did say he was going to smash. Get More »
