Hunger Games Movie fan casting & A bunch of contest winners!

Thanks for all your casting suggestions for the Hunger Games movie. I loved your ideas for Haymitch which included Nathan Fillion, Robert Downey Jr., Bill Murray, Brendan Gleeson, and Jack Black. I'm sure any one of those could pull off this important role, though I have to say I am most intrigued by the idea of Jack Black. A lot of people liked Dev Patel or Alex Pettyfer for Peeta (maybe too wild of an image?) and Ben Barnes for Gale (maybe too old at 28?). Katniss was harder - though Dakota Fanning was metioned quite a bit, I just can't see it, even if she is a great actress (and the right age). Oh, and can I say I pictured Cillian Murphy as Cinna the entire time I was reading?
