‘Nobody Wants This’ star originally called for the cancelation of all awards shows due to the Los Angeles wildfires. Kristen Bell has spoken out about her changed perspective on hosting the 2025 SAG Awards. The 44-year-old Nobody Wants This star, who lives in Los Angeles with her husband Dax Shepard and their two daughters, had initially called for the cancelation of all 2025 awards shows due to the region’s devastating wildfires.
However, Bell said she’s since come to the realization that “these awards shows are a huge part of Los Angeles' economy, employing hundreds, if not thousands, of gig workers: drivers, hair and makeup artists, musicians.”. “It's actually paramount we have them so these people can work,” the Good Place alum said. “At first, it felt superfluous to have an awards show. Then I thought, I know so many people who lost homes in the fire. All they're begging for is a night of normalcy and funny laughs. I felt like we could give them both.”.
Asked if the fires or political climate will impact her hosting style, Bell, who became the first-ever host of the SAG Awards in 2018, said: “Not at all. I've put zero effort into changing my comedy. My style of comedy is not roasting or attacking. If I'm going to come at somebody, it's going to be me. “I certainly will acknowledge the first responders to celebrate them and, at the minimum, give thanks for saving our city. (As for politics), not on my watch. I don't know who that benefits.”.
