Kristen Bell Hints at Wicked Magic at SAG Awards Amid Family Love for the Musical
Get ready to conjure up some magic at the 2025 SAG Awards, folks! Kristen Bell, the bubbly host of this year’s ceremony, is all but spilling the tea on a potential “Wicked”-inspired musical number. In an exclusive chat with *People Magazine*, Bell, who’s got her own reasons to be hyped (her daughters are practically the ultimate fans), teased that she might just try to “dance through life” during the show on February 23. For real, what could make those awards more epic than a little Broadway flair? After all, *Wicked* is leading the pack with five nominations this year, including nods for its stars Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Jonathan Bailey.
Despite not being directly involved with the film, Bell feels a kinship with the project and playfully hinted that if you’re thinking about putting your money where your mouth is, “you might” just want to bet on a musical performance happening at the event. Talk about a teaser, right? She’s all about the love, especially since her daughters, Lincoln and Delta, are “big time” fans of the hit musical. “It’s the most important thing for three of us in our household of four,” she quipped, giving us major family goals while also feeding into the growing influence of musical theater in Hollywood.
Aside from her hosting gig, Bell has a nomination of her own this year for her role in Netflix’s *Nobody Wants This*, where she goes up against big names like Quinta Brunson from *Abbott Elementary*. Fingers crossed for a winning night that marks a memorable evening filled with glitz, glamour, and maybe even a show-stopping medley.
As delightful as the idea of a nifty performance is, there’s some uncertainty on whether Bell’s husband, Dax Shepard, will join her for the night, largely due to babysitting woes. “We don’t have very many babysitters who are ever available,” she chuckled, spotlighting the real-life struggles of parenting amid Hollywood’s glitter.
So, whether she’s rocking the stage or ruling the red carpet, you know the SAG Awards are not just another night in Hollywood. Stay tuned, dear readers, because this magical night might just have the “Wicked” touch we didn’t know we needed!
