Kristen Bell has once again proven that she can do it all—act, sing, and make an entire auditorium of A-list celebrities chuckle awkwardly as she belts out a Frozen-themed parody about the trials and tribulations of being an actor.
The 44-year-old Nobody Wants This star (a film title that honestly sounds like a self-roast) took the stage at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Sunday (February 23) to host the 2025 SAG Awards for the second time. Because, let’s be honest, if you find a gig where you get to wear fancy dresses and make fun of your colleagues, why not do it twice?
From Disney Princess to Struggling Actor Anthem Creator
In her opening monologue, Kristen decided that Do You Want to Build a Snowman? wasn’t heartbreaking enough, so she gave it a Hollywood twist—turning it into an ode to the relentless hustle of acting.
🎶 It can be a bumpy ride… Sometimes there’s no stability… Put aside your pride… 🎶
Yes, Kristen. That is indeed the life of an actor. One minute you’re playing a tree in a high school play, and the next you’re accepting an Oscar while pretending to be shocked. The audience was treated to a montage of actors in their cringiest, most embarrassing early roles—because nothing humbles an A-lister like seeing themselves as “Dead Body #2” in a low-budget crime drama.
Kristen Shouts Out the Real Heroes (And We’re Not Talking About Robert Downey Jr.)
In between the jokes and musical numbers, Kristen took a moment to acknowledge something more serious—the devastating wildfires in L.A. She gave a heartfelt shoutout to the Los Angeles Fire Department members in the audience, calling them the true MVPs of the night.
“Though this room is full of sparkles, glamour, and also what the kids are calling ‘riz,’ the most attractive tables I need to point out are right over there,” she said, motioning to the firefighters. The audience, filled with people who literally play superheroes for a living, clapped for the actual heroes in the room.
And the Nominees Are… Not Kristen Bell
The 2025 SAG Awards, now streaming live on Netflix for the second year in a row (because cable TV is officially vintage), saw Wicked and Shogun leading the nominations with five nods each. Kristen, meanwhile, led the nominations for “Best Use of a Disney Song to Roast an Entire Industry.”
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you open an awards show with style. Or at least with a song that gets stuck in everyone’s head for the next decade.
