The Hunger Games is Yahoo's Number Four Obsession in 2012

The Hunger Games was able to land at the number 4th spot of Yahoo's Obsessions in 2012. According to them:

"The Hunger Games," the first novel in the best-selling young-adult trilogy of the same name, became must-see viewing for American moviegoers. Starring Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, the film version of Suzanne Collins' 2008 novel grossed more than $400 million at the box office domestically and over $680 million worldwide since its March release.

Hardcore fans of the book were initially weary that the 20-year-old Lawrence, fresh off an Oscar-nominated performance in "Winter's Bone," would be too old to play Katniss, the book's 16-year-old protagonist.
But Lawrence proved them wrong, receiving rave reviews for her portrayal of the teenage heroine.

The list also includes the world craze Gangnam Style by Psy, Carly Rae Japsen's Call Me Maybe and a lot more. Go to this link to find out more.

Jennifer Lawrence Proud of "The Hunger Games"

In a recent article published at USA Today, Jennifer Lawrence talked about The Hunger Games and her ambition of becoming a producer someday.

On The Hunger Games:

"It's so huge. It's why I almost didn't take the movie. It's a character that can very easily overpower the rest of my characters. I don't want to do something that's kind of similar. I haven't really done that many movies," she says. 

"It's such an awesome things to be part of something that speaks to so many young kids about something that actually matters, about what one young person can actually do. I feel like I'm part of an important message and that feels good. It feels nice."
Jennifer Lawrence

On Producing Movies in the future:

"I want to have a production company. Sometimes I read a script and wonder, how is this not being made? And I drive past the billboards and the movies that are being made – it's just so infuriating. I want to change that, hopefully. I've always wanted to direct," she says. "I'm decisive but I'm also insecure. That would make me a great director. (I'd say), 'This is definitely what I want. But wait. Is this what I want?'"
