On Thursday, MTV News exclusively revealed that Jennifer Lawrence had landed the highly coveted role of Katniss Everdeen in the big-screen adaptation of Suzanne Collins' dystopian thriller "The Hunger Games."
The announcement capped months of speculation regarding who would enter the arena as District 12's female tribute. It seemed nearly every actress under the age of 25 had auditioned for the role, including fellow Oscar nominees Hailee Steinfeld and Abigail Breslin. Now that fans know Jennifer will carry Katniss' bow and arrow, reactions — largely mixed — have been flooding the internet.
The chief gripe from some is that the tall, blond 20-year-old doesn't resemble the novel's scrappy 16-year-old heroine described as olive-skinned and dark-haired.
"People are like, 'She shouldn't be Katniss because she looks wrong,' " said Mockingjay.net administrator Kimmy West. "Other people are telling them, 'Hey, acting is more important, and she's an amazing actress, so we should keep our minds open for the movie.' "
To wit, many Jennifer supporters cite the actress' performance in the Oscar-nominated "Winter's Bone" as reason enough for her to take up residence in Panem.
"She's extremely talented," said Down With the Capitol administrator Theresa Morgan. "In 'Winter's Bone,' you can see that she can handle anything that's thrown at her."
Age is also a factor working in Jennifer's favor. Though she's four years older than the novel's heroine, The Hob administrator Megan Scott said an older actress is needed to portray the older-than-her-years Katniss.
"Some people don't like it that she's a little bit older. Personally, I think it's great," Scott said. "I think she needs to bring maturity to the role."
The fact that the novel's author gave Jennifer her seal of approval has assured many fans that the fate of "The Hunger Games" is in good hands.
"Jennifer's just an incredible actress," Collins said. "So powerful, vulnerable, beautiful, unforgiving and brave. I never thought we'd find somebody this perfect for the role. And I can't wait for everyone to see her play it."
And, as many YA enthusiasts may recall, fans were initially hesitant to accept Robert Pattinson in the role of "Twilight" leading man Edward Cullen, and now Twilighters can't imagine anyone else as their vampire hero. The true test will come when "The Hunger Games" hits theaters March 23, 2012.

If Miley Cyrus seemed loose hosting "Saturday Night Live" over the weekend, it's because she was.
"SNL" castmember Kristen Wiig tells MTV News the teen queen was not only a blast to have on the set, but also didn't seem to suffer from any anxiety about doing live TV.
"Yes, Miley [was fun to work with]," Wiig said while in New York on Monday (March 7) doing press for her alien-comedy flick, "Paul." "She's cool. It was really, really fun."
Guest host Miley poked fun at her own infamous bong video controversy, as well as at Justin Bieber — whom she played alongside Vanessa Bayer, who just so happens to play Cyrus on the "SNL" skit "The Miley Cyrus Show." Cyrus even went for Lindsay Lohan and Black Eyed Peas frontwoman Fergie. And it was Cyrus' willingness to have a little fun at her own expense that made her the perfect host, according to Wiig.
"Yeah, she was great," the actress said. "She was up for anything. That's always, to me, what makes a host fun to have around. They'll make fun of themselves or how the media perceives them. She was up for anything, which was so great."
In addition to the performance by the Strokes, some of the night's other highlights included Miley's musical number "I'm Sorry I'm Not Perfect" and "Disney Channel Acting School," where Miley and fellow Disney star Raven Symoné (played by Kenan Thompson) taught such subjects such as "Reacting to Stinky Feet" and "Spying in a Doorway," required skills for any actor on a Disney series.

We've been hearing her name whispered in the industry. And since we love showcasing fresh talent, we decided to chat with her one on one and find out what this up and coming YBF chick, and star of the CW's "Vampire Diaries," is all about. Kat Graham (full name Katerina Graham) doesn't just rest on having a cutesy and pretty face--she's a triple threat who sings, acts, and dances and is destined to become one of YBF’s breakout stars.
Get the deets on this fab chick inside…
With so much to chose from, it’s hard for the half Liberian and half Russian actress, who currently stars on the CW’s vampy teen series “The Vampire Diaries,” to focus on just one of her talents.
She describes herself simply saying , “I’m a hustler.” With credits in movies, television, and music already under her belt at age 21, Kat says she is purpose driven, focused and passionate about her career.
Born in Geneva, Switzerland and raised in Hollywood since the age of 5 (she also landed her first role in a major movie in 1998 in Lindsay Lohan's Parent Trap), the talent began acting at age 6.
Along the way, she learned to speak four languages and play the keyboard. And the star of Honey 2, set for release in August 2011, comes from the old-school training ala Jasmine Guy, Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul. "All those ladies have old school training and are able to do it all. And that’s what I want to do.”
“Being Black in Hollywood is a journey and you have to be prepared to do it all and take advantage of each opportunity," Kat tells YBF about why she works at developing her skills in so many areas. "I'm all about building on every opportunity I get. You have to make lemonade.”
And being so young in the Hollywood game isn’t easy, but Kat says you have to persevere and believe in your own talent.
And the talented young lady is staying busy as the season finale of “The Vampire Diaries” nears (she's played the character Bonnie Bennett since the show's inception), as well as the video for her next single “I Want It All,” which she shot on a tiger reserve.
But what’s currently getting her a lot of buzz is a Janet Jackson inspired mash-up "Love Will Never Do Without An Escapade," where she and a few of her dancer friends pay tribute to the icon. “It was about getting together and having fun. We kept it simple and we wanted it to be about the dancing,” she tells us.
Watch Kat’s Janet Jackson inspired mash-up below and stay tuned to what’s going on with her on twitter and at KatGraham.com. And all new episodes of "The Vampire Diaries" return to CW April 7th.
