Tohn is also looking ahead. She has shared interest in adapting The Nanny into a musical film, combining her acting work with her music background.
The awards show itself has evolved in recent years. It moved to live streaming on Netflix, a change Bell has supported as host. This year’s ceremony included a special honor for Harrison Ford and major wins for the cast of Sinners.
During the broadcast, Bell and Tohn also appeared in a comedic segment featuring a backstage table tennis contest with other nominees. Their chemistry added some light moments to the long night.
With awards season now heading toward the Oscars, there is growing talk about the future of Nobody Wants This. Creator Erin Foster has hinted that more stories could be on the way.
