Well, like you said - screenwriter. If she doesn't realize the casual sexism in her way of thinking, the books aren't going to realize it either.
Pity, because you're right about there being a lot of potential in that scene. Would've been great if she was annoyed and Peeta embarrassed and Cinna was telling them it was only the Capital's opinion they should worry about. As it is, it's just "OOOH I FEEL SEXY AND CUDDLY, THIS IS NEW! LOOK AT ME, EVERYONE!"
