Anna Kendrick. John Krasinski. Possibly the two most likable people in Hollywood (sorry, Tom Hanks and lady equivalent of Tom Hanks) will go head-to-head on tonight's Lip Sync Battle.

A preview clip for the musical deathmatch shows Kendrick lip syncing her face off to One Direction's "Steal My Girl" while cuddling up to a television rolling images of Krasinski's wife, Emily Blunt. Bold move, Kendrick.

But in another clip, we see Krasinski strip off a suit to reveal a sparkly, Tina Turner-inspired cocktail dress.

This is how we entertain ourselves in 2015, people.

Before we see the actual competition unfold on basic cable, let's take a look at our competitors.

For someone with such an intense need to be liked you'd think I would have figured out how to be less of an asshole.— Anna Kendrick (@AnnaKendrick47) September 2, 2013
