Sam Claflin presented last night at the Jameson Empire Awards (see our story HERE) and he gave us some amazing information during the pre-show live stream interview. He's seen the Catching Fire trailer AND he talks about Annie Cresta as Finnick's motivation. Will we see Annie in the movie? It's a relief to know that she's part of the storyline AND that there is a trailer ready and waiting for us.
Empire, the UK-based movie magazine, hosted their Jameson Empire Awards Sunday 3/24/13 at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London. Sam Claflin was there with his beautiful fiancé, Laura Haddock, both of whom were presenters. Sam presented the Best Female Newcomer Award to Samantha Barks of Les Miserables and Laura presented Best Horror to The Woman in Black.

Jennifer Lawrence was also nominated for and WON Best Actress for Katniss in The Hunger Games! Jennifer wasn't there to accept her award from English actor and comedian Reece Shearsmith. From Empire:
And the winner is JENNIFER LAWRENCE for The Hunger Games rather than Silver Linings Playbook, because Empire voters don't get freaked out by genre movies. She can’t be with us tonight because she’s still hunger gaming somewhere. That, or she tripped on the way to the red carpet and hasn’t gotten up yet. Either way, may the odds be ever in her favour. And she has sent a message, which Shearsmith reads.
"Hi Empire awards, I'm really sorry I can't be there. I'd like to thank the Empire readers for voting for me. I loved playing Catnip - is that right?" asks Shearsmith. "I'll make sure she gets this award - I won't really."
