Elizabeth Banks: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked

3. Elfie Trinket - The Hunger Games Series

While the character of Effie seemed to irritate people during the first movie - with her over the top fashion and weird voice €“ she soon grew to be a fan favourite. Effie was the escort for the District 12 tributes Katniss and Peeta, and at first sight she represented all that was wrong with the repressive society of the franchise. She seemed to be another wealthy socialite completely oblivious to the suffering of people in the lower districts, yet as the character evolved it was clear she had a conscience after all. Even she felt the Hunger Games were a barbaric, unfair tradition. She made the switch from escort to rebel in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay €“ Part 1, which saw her stripped of her fashion but not of her pride. Watching Effie change over the course of the series has been a real pleasure, with Banks turning could have been an annoying caricature into one of the best characters.
