Actress Kristen Bell will return to host the 31st annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in February, the guild announced Monday.
“Thrilled to be hosting the SAG Awards again this year,” Bell said in a statement. “I’m honored to be asked back and can’t wait to share the evening with my fellow actors, doing what we do best, celebrating ourselves.”
The SAG Awards have traditionally been held without a host, as the ceremonies opened with various actors speaking to the camera while sitting in the audience, offering short vignettes about how they became actors. The show was held with a host for the first time in 2018 — with Bell handling the duties.
Bell starred in “Nobody Wants This” and “The Good Place,” and she is also known for providing the voice of Anna in Disney’s “Frozen” animated films. She has also appeared in films such as “Bad Moms,” “Some Girls,” “Couples Retreat,” “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and “The Lifeguard.” She has also appeared in shows such as “Veronica Mars,” “Parks & Recreation,” “Deadwood,” “Heroes” and “Unsupervised.”
“Kristen Bell’s wit, warmth and charm makes her the perfect fit for our show — a night celebrating actors and the outstanding performances of the year,” SAG Awards Executive Producer Jon Brockett said in a statement.
The SAG Awards will be held Feb. 23 at the Shrine Auditorium, streaming live on Netflix.
SAG Award nominations will be announced Jan. 8.
