Kristen Bell Returns to Host the 31st SAG Awards with a Nostalgic Twist

The 31st Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards is set to stream live on Netflix on Sunday, February 23, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT. This prestigious event will celebrate the year's best performances in television and film. Notably, Kristen Bell will return as the host, marking her second time in this role since she first hosted in 2018. The show, which previously relied on a hostless format with cameos from Hollywood's biggest names, promises to be a star-studded affair.

Kristen Bell's connection to the SAG Awards goes beyond hosting duties. This year, she is also nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for her role in "Nobody Wants This." In a whimsical teaser for the awards, Bell is seen interacting with the ghost of her past self, who is preparing to host the SAG Awards for the first time in 2018. Bell humorously advises her past self on matters such as "calling out Timothee Chalamet" and shares a surprising revelation about her future on-screen romance.

"I was just as surprised as I am," – Kristen Bell

The teaser also provides a playful exchange where Bell's past self is taken aback upon learning that she gets to kiss Adam Brody in their Netflix series "Nobody Wants This."

"The millennials are gonna love that." – Past Kristen Bell

This year's SAG Awards promises a mix of past and present performances and appearances from Hollywood's elite. With Kristen Bell at the helm, viewers can expect a blend of humor and heartfelt moments. The event will feature live performances and cameos from some of the industry's most celebrated figures, further enhancing the evening's allure.

Bell expressed her excitement about returning as the host, emphasizing the camaraderie among actors within the industry.

"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." – Kristen Bell
