Failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Tuesday night comparedherself favorably to comic and movie heroine Wonder Womanduring a videoappearance at a glitzyBeverly Hills awards show.

Clinton appeared in a 95-second video on behalf of actress Elizabeth Banks, a friend and supporter of Clinton who was being honored at theWomen in Film Los Angeles' Crystal + Lucy Awards. Banks was set to receive theCrystal Award for Excellence in Film, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

"On and off the screen, your commitment to lifting up women directors, producers, writers, composers, and executives has made such a difference," Clinton said of Banks.

Clinton also name dropped the recently released movie Wonder Woman, which has garnered praise for its positive depiction of a female lead.

"Now I haven't seen WonderWoman yet, but I'm going to!" Clinton said in her message. "In part because it's directed by the fabulous Patty Jenkins."

"But something tells me that a movie about a strong, powerful woman fighting to savethe world from a massive international disaster is right up my alley," the two-time failed presidential candidate added, comparing her battle against Donald Trump to the Wonder Woman character.
