She had been stumping for Hillary Clinton in a desperate last minute drive to get more votes.
So perhaps that explains why Anne Hathaway looked so glum as she headed out for a fancy birthday dinner with her handsome husband Adam Shulman in New York on Saturday.
The Les Miserables favourite was downbeat despite the fact she was eating out at a fancy French restaurant Le Cirque with her reality television personality pal Olivia Palermo.

The newly-minted 34-year-old was looking great for her age in a red satin dress that showcased her knockout figure, a fur coat and towering gold stilettos.
Her beefcake jewellery designer other half meanwhile looked masculine in a classic tuxedo and leather shoes combo.
They were joined at the eatery by self-styled model and socialite Olivia Palermo, who was escorted by her German model other half Johannes Huebl.
Perhaps the reason Anne was so glum is her beloved presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has only just suffered a landslide loss at the polls.
It came despite the Oscar-winning actress stumping for the Democrat nominee at Temple University earlier this week

She was so keen to drum up extra votes she even ended up singing Happy Birthday to student and fellow Scorpio Ewan Johnson.
According to the more cosmically inclined the latter means they can be caring and sensible, though they are also said to be self-pitying, stubborn and opinionated.
The touching campus moment, which was caught on video, saw the actress, who ironically was wearing a ‘proud to support Madam President’ shirt, already mid-song as the crowd sings with her.
And she really made his day on the second ‘happy birthday to you’, wrapping her arms around the strapping young lad’s waist and giving him a tight squeeze while resting her head on his shoulder so they are cheek-to-cheek.
