We are still in shock after attending The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Los Angeles premiere and after party last night. We even got to be a part of the Yahoo red carpet live stream! You can check it out here. We're about 1:24 mark on the video.
It was an unforgettable night that we're still trying to process. The movie is going to blow you away. No spoilers here, but it's probably one of the best book to movie adaptations ever!
Check out pics of the cast (and Suzanne Collins!) on the red carpet last night.

TIME talks to the writer-creator of The Hunger Games and the director of Catching Fire — Part 1 in an exclusive five-part series. The interview has been divided into five parts, running Monday through Friday.
Compare Katniss at the beginning of Hunger Games and Katniss at the beginning of this movie. How is she different now?
Francis Lawrence: Well, Katniss is different because she’s been through the games. I think that was one of the things that really interested me most about the material and about this book was that we get to start to see the kind of effects that the games have on people, the effects that violence has on people.
How do you show that change?
FL: Even though she’s in the place she loves in the forest, I think that there’s a look to her, I would call it the thousand-yard stare. She’s still disturbed by things, and can’t get certain thoughts and images out of her head. And pretty quickly she has flashbacks to the games, within minutes of the opening.
Suzanne Collins: She’s got a lot of classic post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms. She has nightmares. She has flashbacks. And in the beginning you can see she’s practicing avoidance. She’s completely pushed Peeta to arm’s length, you know? She’s trying to stay away from him. Why? Because everything associated with him except some very early childhood memories are associated with the Games. She’s conflicted to some degree about her relationship with Prim because she couldn’t save Rue. So she’s dealing with all that, and her method of dealing with it is to go to the woods and be alone and keep all of that as far away as possible, because there just are so many triggers in her everyday life.
But of course, what happens right at the story is it’s beginning of the Victory Tour, and that means that she’s going to have to go to every district and stand there and look at the families of the dead children. Some of them in some districts, like District 1, she killed both tributes. She killed both Marvel and Glimmer. So it’s this nightmare waiting to happen. And then just to make it extra awful, Snow visits her with the threat, so she’s something of a wreck at the beginning.
Josh Hutcherson made a surprise visit to Catching Fire Fan Camp today! He joined Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, and Jeffrey Wright at the table to sign for fans. Francis Lawrence made a surprise visit to Fan Camp right after that signing. The fan sites got to hang out in the press pit the entire time to take pictures. It was amazing for us to get such access to the cast! We were not even two feet away from them during the entire signing. The cast is so gracious and kind. We were surprised how much energy they had after their whirlwind press and European tour.

Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and Francis Lawrence took to Facebook yesterday to talk The Hunger Games: Catching Fire with Mashable's Kurt Wagner and to premiere a brand new clip from the movie. Check out the full Q&A below.
"Nice to meet all of your phones," actress Jennifer Lawrence jokingly said to Facebook employees who were photographing her onstage just moments before she participated in a Q&A panel Wednesday at Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif.
During the 45-minute panel, Lawrence recounted how she "had to pee into a bucket" on set while wearing a wedding dress. She also said that the hardest and most emotional scene to tape was the one in which Katniss couldn't say goodbye to her family. Lawrence, who sported a new pixie cut, also poked fun at her digital skills.

"I've never been so confused in my whole life," she said when asked how it felt to visit Facebook. "I'm so technologically so dumb."
Near the end of the panel, the trio of actors talked about their Facebook use. Lawrence even conceptualized a fake Facebook status.
"I'm sweating — that would be my status, and it would never change," she said.
