During a speech at an awards event, the former presidential candidate found plenty to praise in the star of the hit superhero movie._  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jun 14, 2017 5:35 PM UTC  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jun 14, 2017 5:35 PM UTC _Wonder Woman_ is unstoppable. Not only is the superhero movie [breaking box office records](http://time.com/4814095/wonder-woman-the-mummy-box-office/), but it has some seriously high-profile fans willing to sing its praises. [Exhibit A: Oprah. ](http://time.com/4817931/oprah-wonder-woman-party/)Exhibit B: Hillary Clinton. During a video message shared at the [Women in Film Crystal + Lucy Awards](https://womeninfilm.org/the-crystal-lucy-awards/) in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Clinton put her support behind the iconic superhero. And although she admitted she hasn’t yet had the chance to watch the film, that doesn’t mean she’s any less of a fan. “No, I haven’t seen _Wonder Woman_ yet, but I’m going to, in part because it’s directed by the fabulous [Patty Jenkins](http://time.com/4420720/wonder-woman-director-patty-jenkins/),” Clinton said. “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,” she continued, to general laughter. Her Wonder Woman homage was part of her message to actor, director and supporter [Elizabeth Banks](http://time.com/4425388/dnc-elizabeth-banks-donald-trump/), who was receiving an award for Excellence in Film during the evening. > [](https://twitter.com/ThatGirlCarly/status/874881630069981184) Michelle Obama and Senator Kamala Harris also sent in video messages to support award recipients Banks and Tracee Ellis Ross during the course of the evening. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4818249/hillary-clinton-wonder-woman/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4818249/hillary-clinton-wonder-woman/"},"headline":"Of Course Hillary Clinton Is a Wonder Woman Fan: 'Right Up My Alley'","datePublished":"2017-06-14T17:35:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:56:43.740Z","description":"During a speech at an awards event, the former presidential candidate found plenty to praise in the star of the hit superhero movie.","url":"https://time.com/4818249/hillary-clinton-wonder-woman/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","celebrities","wonder woman","hillary clinton"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt864c581875a2902a/6988d19e97cdffa7a36b12d9/hillary-clinton.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt864c581875a2902a/6988d19e97cdffa7a36b12d9/hillary-clinton.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2017 Stephan Weiss Apple Awards","caption":"2017 Stephan Weiss Apple Awards","creditText":"Monica Schipper—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4818249/hillary-clinton-wonder-woman/","name":"Of Course Hillary Clinton Is a Wonder Woman Fan: 'Right Up My Alley'"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Video Is No Longer Available","description":"During a speech at an awards event, the former presidential candidate found plenty to praise in the star of the hit superhero movie.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fKodeUO6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-23T15:00:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fKodeUO6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4818249/hillary-clinton-wonder-woman/","duration":"PT10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4818249/hillary-clinton-wonder-woman/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
