actress
Kristen
Bell,
who
plays
Disney
Princess
Anna,
was
presented
with
the
#SeeHer
Award
at
Critics
Choice
Awards
2020.
Kristen
Bell,
has
been
known
for
advocating
authentic
portrayals
of
women
on
screen
and
has
been
presenting
them
in
shows
like,
The
Good
Place,
Momsplaining,
Veronica
Mars
and
more.
Kristen
was
presented
the
special
award
for
pushing
the
boundaries
and
changing
the
women
stereotypes.
After
accepting
the
award,
during
her
speech,
Bell
confessed
she
is
often,
asked:
"What
does
it
mean
to
be
a
woman,
today?"
She
went
on
to
share,
while
her
immediate
reaction
is
always
to
answer
with
words
like
'strong'
and
'brave
and
'powerful,'
"but
if
I'm
being
honest,
to
me,
being
a
woman
is
not
about
being
brave
or
being
strong
or
being
powerful.
It's
not
about
being
anything
specific,"
"It's
just
about
giving
yourself
permission
to
be
the
things
that
you
already
are
-
which
seems
very
easy,
but
it
is
not.
Because
women
have
been
conditioned
to
fit
into
boxes;
usually
tiny,
pretty,
sparkly
boxes
with
bows
on
them,
generally," She
then
explained
the
idea
to
her
means
being
herself,
"So
to
me,
the
idea
of
womanhood
is
someone
who
sheds
the
perfect
little
box
and
owns
their
complexity."
Kristen
concluded
the
speech
saying,
"What
I've
learned
from
all
that
is
that
nobody
is
just
one
thing.
We
are
all
the
things."
Bell
was
seen
sporting
a
neon
green
pantsuit
on
the
red
carpet
with
a
cape.
She
also
shared
a
few
BTS
videos
on
her
Instagram
profile,
Kristen
was
seating
with
her
The
Good
Place
costars
and
seemed
to
have
had
a
good
time.
The
award
in
the
earlier
years
had
been
presented
to,
actresses
like
Gal
Gadot,
Viola
Davis
and
Claire
Foy.
While
receiving
the
award,
Kristen
joked,
"This
is
the
fourth
year
that
the
#SeeHer
has
been
given
out
and
the
other
three
were
human
goddess
Viola
Davis,
Wonder
Woman
(Gal
Gadot),
and
the
Queen
(Claire
Foy).
And
I
guess,
now
me,
the
girl
who
cried
at
the
sloth.
So
this
has
clearly
been
a
huge
mistake,
but
I
will
stand
up
here
and
hold
this
until
someone
tells
me
this
belongs
to
Moonlight,"
Kristen
who
is
also
known
as
an
activist
became
the
first
global
advocate
for
the
Women's
Peace
and
Humanitarian
Fund
last
year.
She
has
also
been
working
towards
changing
stereotypes
of
mothers
and
motherly
figures
with
Momsplaining,
show
produced
by
Ellen
Degeneres.
