Kristen Bell puts fun twist on 'Frozen' song at SAG Awards

Kristen Bell was the hostess-with-the-mostess at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards. 

The 2025 host opened the ceremony at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 23, with a monologue that borrowed lyrics from Disney's 'Frozen'. 

She voices the role of Anna in the movie. Anna sings one of the 2013 film's most popular songs, 'Do You Want to Build a Snowman?'. 

Bell switched up the lyrics to help some of the nominees take a trip down memory lane. 

"Do you want to be an actor?" she sang as pictures of actors in their early roles appeared on screen. 

It showed Selena Gomez in 'Barney & Friends', Jamie Lee Curtis in 'Halloween', and Zoe Saldaña in the Britney Spears-led film, 'Crossroads'. 

The monologue also featured Harrison Ford, Elle Fanning, Colin Farrell, Timothée Chalamet, and Cate Blanchett's breakout roles.

Social media users praised Bell's "wholesome" tribute to the actors.

"Actors using acting awards to promote the creativity and joy of acting. Refreshing," one X user wrote. 

Another user added: "So sweet to see them all acting as children too 🫶."

A third said: "Love it! Kristen Bell's energy is contagious! Yes, definitely want to be an actor! #FrozenVibes."

The SAG Awards, streamed live on Netflix, included several surprise winners. 

Gomez and the cast of 'Only Murders in the Building' won 'Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series'. 

A shocked Gomez joined several of the cast members on stage. "We never win, this is so weird," she said. 

Timothée Chalamet won 'Best Actor' for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in 'A Complete Unknown'. 

"This was five and a half years of my life. I poured everything I had into playing this in comparable artist Mr Bob Dylan, a true American hero. It was the honour of a lifetime playing him," Chalamet said. 

"I know we’re in a subjective business, but the truth is I’m really in pursuit of greatness. I know people don’t usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats. I’m inspired by the greats. I’m inspired by the greats here tonight. I’m as inspired by Daniel Day-Lewis, Marlon Brando and Viola Davis as I am by Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps, and I want to be up there," he added. 

Oscar favourites Demi Moore and Saldaña also took home awards.
