Last night, history was made. But that didn"t stop the crown inside the 2016 Democratic National Convention from having a little fun.
While Scott Baio and Antonio Sabato Jr. buried themselves at the RNC, the very opposite happened to the celebs who were invited to speak last night.
Elizabeth Banks made her mark last night when she took the stage, mimicking Trump"s over-the-top entrance with hand gestures and a slow, deliberate walk as Queen"s "We Are The Champions" played.
It was awesome.
“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,” Banks told the crowd.
“So when I tuned in to Cleveland last week, I was like, ‘Uh, hey ― that’s my act!’”
It was nothing short of brilliant. Banks had nearly every one of Trump"s obnoxious moves down, to the point where it even made the GOP nominee speechless.
Well, speechless in the sense that he didn"t directly address it in one of his many tweets about last night. He did, however, manager to insult the convention overall, like any grown-up running for president would do.
"I hate to say it, but the Republican Convention was far more interesting (with a much more beautiful set) than the Democratic Convention!" Trump tweeted.
"The Democratic Convention has paid ZERO respect to the great police and law enforcement professionals of our country. No recognition – SAD!" he also posted, as Banks shared a selfie with two Philadelphia police officers on the social media platform.
Lena Dunham, America Ferrara, Meryl Streep were only a few big names to publicly throw their support behind Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee and the first woman to ever be nominated for president.
