Of course Hillary Clinton is a 'Wonder Woman' fan

Hillary Clinton said that 'Wonder Woman' sounds "right up my alley."

Add Hillary Clinton to the growing list of Wonder Woman fans, because she finds the hero... relatable.

"No I haven't seen Wonder Woman yet, but I'm going to, in part because it's directed by the fabulous Patty Jenkins," Clinton said in a video at Women In Film's Crystal + Lucy Awards Tuesday. "But something tells me that a movie about a strong, powerful woman fighting to save the world from a massive international disaster is right up my alley."

Clinton's taped message aired in the Beverly Hilton, as a way to help present the Crystal Award or Excellence in Film to actor/director and longtime Clinton supporter Elizabeth Banks, whom Clinton called "such a special person, onscreen and off." Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., also praised Banks in a video message, calling her "a great friend and incredible role model."

Banks was feted along with actress Zoey Deutch, director Mira Nair, Sony Pictures Classics co-founders Michael Barker and Tom Bernard, journalist Dan Rather and actress Tracee Ellis Ross.

The latter honoree had her own A-list video message, too, from Michelle Obama.

"You are brilliant, you're hilarious, you're one of the most talented actors I know and your character on Black-ish, Bow, is an inspiration for folks all across this country. And the work you're doing offscreen is just as remarkable," Obama said to Ross, who took home the Lucy Award for Excellence in Television. "Congratulations, again, on this well-deserved honor. See you on the dance floor."
