Everyone wants to win at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards — including the cast of Nobody Wants This.
While the show wasn’t nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series at the Sunday, February 23, awards show, the series did manage to snag nods in two major categories.
Adam Brody was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series for his portrayal of Noah. Kristen Bell, meanwhile, was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series after playing series lead Joanne.
Unfortunately, the stars of Nobody Wants This left the awards show empty handed on Sunday. Brody, 45, lost his category to Martin Short, who won for Only Murders in the Building. Jean Smart, meanwhile, beat out Bell for her lead role on Hacks.
Even with their respective losses, the SAGs were a big deal for the Nobody Wants This family — Bell, 44, also served as the awards show’s host. (Bell previously hosted the event in 2018.)
“Thrilled to be hosting the SAG Awards again this year,” Bell said in a December 2024 statement. “I’m honored to be asked back and can’t wait to share the evening with my fellow actors, doing what we do best … celebrating ourselves.”
The SAG Awards team was equally as excited to have Bell back at the helm. “Kristen Bell’s wit, warmth, and charm makes her the perfect fit for our show — a night celebrating actors and the outstanding performances of the year,” SAG Awards executive producer Jon Brockett said in his own December 2024 Netflix statement. “Plus — who better to keep us entertained and on our toes than Kristen?”
Bell kicked off the night with a spoof of Frozen’s “Do You Wanna Build a Snowman” song, singing “Do You Wanna Be an Actor.” She proceeded to do bits with her former The Good Place and Forgetting Sarah Marshall costars.

In addition to hosting the fun-filled night in Los Angeles, Bell was there to celebrate Nobody Wants This’ success — which has been evident since the show premiered on Netflix in September 2024.
The comedy follows agnostic sex podcaster Joanne (Bell) as she falls in love with the newly single (and very hot) rabbi Noah (Brody). Along the way viewers see whether their relationship can survive their different upbringings and meddling families.
Season 1 ended with Noah seemingly giving up his chance to be a head rabbi to be with Joanne, who revealed she was not ready to convert to Judaism. Season 2 began filming earlier this month — and creator Erin Foster teased the show will “pick up mostly more or less where we left off.”
She told The Hollywood Reporter in October 2024 that it won’t be “the same night” but it will be “the same moment of, ‘So, what now? How do we do this?’”
Season 2 will also have a new face with Joanne’s “middle school nemesis who is now an Instagram mommy influencer” named Abby. Brody’s real-life wife, Leighton Meester, will play the new character, Variety reported on Thursday, February 20. (Meester joined her husband on Sunday night, walking the red carpet together.)
Nobody Wants This season 1 is currently streaming on Netflix.
