The Hunger Games stands apart from other blockbuster sci-fi fantasy franchises of recent years in various ways, but its scathing satire of modern mass media is foremost among them. This satire is best exemplified in the person of Caesar Flickerman, a pearly-toothed presenter drenched in glitter and smarmy self-adulation, played with gleeful exuberance by Stanley Tucci. Flickerman is the Master of Ceremonies for each Hunger Games, who leads wall-to-wall television coverage of the entire event with nauseating insincerity. Tucci has admitted needing some real-world inspiration to get into character as Flickerman, in the form of similarly flamboyant TV personalities.
