Elizabeth Banks channels The Hunger Games to mock Donald Trump at the DNC

It’s not just Republicans who have cinematic, professional wrestling–style entrances down. On Tuesday at the Democratic National Convention, The Hunger Games actress Elizabeth Banks proved she can enter in style, too.

Banks went on to mock the Republican National Convention, comparing it to her role in The Hunger Games.

"Some of you know me from The Hunger Games, in which I play Effie Trinket — a cruel, out-of-touch reality TV star who wears insane wigs while delivering long-winded speeches to a violent dystopia," she said. "So when I tuned in to Cleveland last week, I was like, ‘Hey, that's my act.’"
