Kristen Bell is putting her husband Dax Shepard on blast for not-so-secretly tuning into the Detroit Lions-Minnesota Vikings game while attending the 82nd Annual Golden Globes.

The Frozen actress, 44, posted a video on her Instagram Story on Sunday that featured Shepard, 50, peeking down at his phone, which was tucked between his legs, in order to watch the game while Captain America: Brave New World actors Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford presented the award for Best Animated Motion Picture at the event.

"#Priorities," Bell wrote on the video, adding a hashtag for the Detroit Lions as well as tagging her husband. Shepard also re-posted the video on his own Instagram Story. Both Bell and Shepard are originally from the Detroit area.

Sure, one could argue that watching a football game during a huge Hollywood awards ceremony isn't the most appropriate thing to do, but fellow Lions fans will likely understand why Shepard chose to do it.

After all, the high-stakes game saw the Lions and the Vikings battle it out for the NFC North Division title in their final face-off of the regular season, with the Lions coming out on top, 31-9 against the Vikings. The win means that the Lions are now the No. 1-seeded team in the NFC, and will receive a first round bye as well as a home-field advantage in the forthcoming playoffs.

Back in movie and television land, Bell was nominated for a Golden Globe last night in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy category for her role in Netflix's hit rom-com, Nobody Wants This. The award was ultimately taken home by Jean Smart for her performance in the Max comedy, Hacks.

Nobody Wants This -- which explored the unconventional romance between an agnostic podcaster Joanne (Bell) and a rabbi named Noah (Adam Brody) -- was nominated for three Golden Globes, including Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy. Brody was similarly nominated in the Best Actor in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy category, but lost out to The Bear's Jeremy Allen White.
