Watch: Who Wins Elizabeth Banks' POPular Vote?

It was fairly obvious already that Elizabeth Banks has good taste, but now it's confirmed.

We have everything in common.

Loving Game of Thrones and Veep? Check. Preferring a whirlwind workout? Check. Wanting to hang out more with Matt Damon? Checkmate.

E! News caught up with the Pitch Perfect and Hunger Games star a few weeks ago at the Democratic Convention, where she joined Sia, Connie Britton and more in a rousing rendition of Rachel Silva's "Fight Song," which served as an anthem for the emotionally charged event in Philadelphia.

So that's how we learned that Banks was singing "Fight Song" in the shower beforehand, the politically engaged star revealing that and many more of her favorite things when she shared the winners of her POPular Vote with E!'s Sibley Scoles.

Come what may in November, Banks stars in the new Power Rangers movie out on March 24, 2017 (she's the villainous Rita Repulsa), and Pitch Perfect 3, which she expects will be in theaters next Christmas, is in the works. "There's a lot of pressure, we don't want to disappoint the fans," she said.

Speaking of not wanting to disappoint...

"I was so excited to be here on such a history-making night," Banks also told Scoles, explaining her feelings backstage at the DNC. "I was really blown away—I truly ugly-cried during Bernie's nomination of Hillary and I just thought it was so classy and gracious...As a woman it felt especially emotional."

See more of Elizabeth Banks tonight on E! News at 7 & 11 p.m.
