Los Angeles, Kristen Bell has officially received a nomination for Best Comedy Actress at the 2025 Emmy Awards for her role in the hit Netflix series Nobody Wants This. The announcement was made Tuesday as part of the full list of Emmy nominations revealed by the Television Academy.
Bell is joined in the highly competitive category by Uzo Aduba (The Residence), Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary), Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), and Jean Smart (Hacks). This marks another major milestone in Kristen Bell’s already illustrious career.
Reacting to the exciting news, Kristen shared a lighthearted Instagram post featuring her surprised expression with the caption: “Finding out I was nominated for an Emmy.” Fans flooded the comments with congratulations and excitement for the beloved actress.
Nobody Wants This garnered three nominations in total, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor (Adam Brody). The show, which is loosely inspired by creator Erin Foster’s real-life experiences, stars Kristen Bell as Joanne and Adam Brody as Noah.
The series centers on Joanne, a sharp and independent podcaster, and Noah, a modern rabbi, as they navigate a unique and emotionally charged romance. The season finale left viewers on edge when Joanne hesitated to convert to Judaism, casting doubt on their future together.
As Emmy buzz builds, fans are hopeful that Bell’s heartfelt and humorous performance will take home the win on September 14, 2025, when the 77th Emmy Awards air live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
