Kristen Bell Receives Emmy Nomination for Outstanding Actress
Kristen Bell has been recognized with an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series. This honor comes for her role as Joanne in the Netflix romantic comedy series, Nobody Wants This.
Her husband, Dax Shepard, marked the occasion with a playful post on Instagram, showing Bell in a humorous yoga pose in the backyard, wearing only bright blue knee-high socks. In his caption, he joked about the hard work that goes into such a nomination, saying, “This may or may not have been a part of her training, but it felt right. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!”
The couple, who began dating in 2007 and married in 2013, have two daughters, Lincoln and Delta. They often share their family moments and support for one another on social media. Bell, 44, celebrated her nomination with an emotional reaction alongside Erin Foster, the show’s creator. The two had been working together during an ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) session when the news was revealed.
The excitement was palpable as Bell and Foster reacted with joy, documenting the heartfelt moment online. Bell’s simple caption read: “Finding out I was nominated for an Emmy – finding out @erinfoster was nominated for an Emmy!!!!”
Dax also added a lighthearted comment on her post, wishing her a day filled with celebration after this significant achievement.
Kristen’s performance is not only praised by fans but now also acknowledged by the industry, as Nobody Wants This has also received a nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series. The Emmy Awards are set to air on Sunday, September 14, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS, where Bell will be competing alongside other talented actresses in the category.
This recognition highlights Bell’s ongoing contributions to comedy television and her dedicated work, which resonates well with audiences across the country.
