Natalie Dormer debuted the hairdo for her Mockingjay character, Cressida, at last night's SAG Awards. Dormer shocked most of the world (but THRILLED us - it looks amazing on her) with her half-shaved head on the red carpet. Natalie confirmed that the hair is part of Mockingjay. She told E! News, "The hair department of Mockingjay did it and I love it. A little trepidation but I was excited."
She went on to share with Entertainment Weekly, "It’s been hidden for 3 months. It happened back in October. I was, you know, waiting for the right moment. Francis Lawrence, the director of Mockingjay, and I discussed it and I took the job on the premise that I would possibly [have to] shave my whole head. I’m actually really pleased that we went halfway because I think it’s more the Capitol… and that’s where Cressida comes from… I think it’s right for the character."
She also noted, “It was a bit weird lying in bed for the first few nights. [One] side feels normal, [the other] side doesn’t feel so normal against the pillow,” she said. ”[And] hats fit differently.”
Dormer had previously commented on how they were going to interpret Cressida's bald, tattooed look from the book into the Mockingjay film in an interview with VH1's Big Morning Buzz Live in October:
“I haven’t shaved off all my head hair, no. But it's definitely an interesting interpretation of the reference in the book. I would like to think that people won’t be disappointed with the choices that we made.”

Jennifer Lawrence and the cast of American Hustle took home Outstanding Performance By a Cast in a Motion Picture at last night's SAG Awards. Jen was nominated for Best Supporting Actress but Lupita Nyong'o took home the Actor for 12 Years A Slave. Jennifer also presented the Best Actor statue to Matthew McConaughey for his work in Dallas Buyers Club. Jen's beautiful Dior dress may not have inspired any new memes last night, but she did coin a new phrase on the red carpet, "Armpit Vagina." Check it out below:

Josh Hutcherson made a surprise appearance at the Cincinnati Cyclones hockey game last night. It just happened to be "Josh Hutcherson Bobble-Head Night" at the game, and some lucky fans got to meet him and take home their own Josh bobble-head souvenir! Though, the Josh bobble-head looks a lot like Ryan Seacrest to me. Just sayin'.

Producer Nina Jacobson confirmed today on twitter that it's Buttercup's big day on the Mockingjay set! Apparently, they're filming the "Crazy Cat" scene in District 13 today. For those of you who don't know who Buttercup is - and if you don't this whole website must be thoroughly confusing - it's Prim's beloved cat, who is barely tolerated by Katniss.

In Mockingjay, Katniss devises a game of "Crazy Cat" to entertain the citizens of District 13 while they're confined *SPOILERS* because of a bombing. Katniss shines a flashlight around the compartment and Buttercup tries to catch it. It later becomes a metaphor for how Katniss is feeling about *SPOILERS* Peeta's capture and torture, so it's a pretty important scene and one we're thrilled is staying in the movie!

Jennifer Lawrence has been nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her work in American Hustle! Congratulations, Jennifer!
If Jen wins, she’ll make history as well as the youngest woman to have two Academy Awards. A win for Lawrence would also make her the first actress to win back-to-back Oscars since Katharine Hepburn accomplished that feat in the late 1960s. (thanks, LA Times!)

Molly Wed, January 15, 2014 While researching our article on Catching Fire production designer Phil Messina, we unearthed some behind the scenes photos from the Catching Fire set at LITEGEAR.com. They had an interesting story on the use of special lighting in the party scene they filmed at Swan House in Atlanta.
From LITEGEAR
For the movie Catching Fire, Production Designer Phil Messina designed a dance floor which had elaborate standing chandeliers which he envisioned hundreds of fluorescent tubes as a large visual element in the set. Phil wanted the tubes to change color during the dance sequence in the film, however fluorescent sources were not an option due to lack of dimming intensity and the need to change color. The scene was going to be shot with a moving camera circling around the dancing actors, so each tube needed to be seen 360 degrees and the tubes needed to be the primary source of lighting. LED options were explored, and LiteGear was on the job.
