The 81st annual Academy Awards were held last night and Slumdog Millionaire took home eight of the Oscar statues as the big winner of the night. Heath Ledger was awarded for his portrayal of the Joker in the Dark Knight as the “Best Supporting Actor” (like we alluded to in a photoshop back in December).

The Dark Knight fell short of being the “fanboy” movie that broke into the exclusive Oscar club, being snubbed in many of the major categories despite shattering the box office and being critically acclaimed. Regardless of awards or not, fans of comic books, video games, cartoons, classic toys, and nostalgia will be receiving steady doses of movies in the coming years.

PWN or DIE has chosen to focus on video games as films and who we would like to see playing some of our favorite characters. We came up with thirty examples of actors and actresses we feel would fit as video game icons. Perhaps some of these movies will be made and yield Oscars for these thespians in years to come?

You can check out the photos below or watch them together in a casting video. Let us know which are your favorites or if you have ideas for other roles to be cast.
