Kristen Bell (The Good
Place, Frozen) will host the 24th Annual Screen
Actors Guild Awards® on Monday, 22 January 2018, an
event which is simulcast first and exclusive, LIVE from the U.S at 9 a.m. (8:00AM JKT/BKK) on Blue Ant Entertainment.
As the SAG
Awards has never had an emcee before, Executive Producer Kathy Connell and the
SAG Awards Committee are breaking a long-standing custom by inviting the
multi-faceted actor to fill this prestigious role.
“We are
delighted to have Kristen Bell as the first-ever host of the SAG Awards,”
Connell said. “This has been a year in which assumptions have been challenged,
stereotypes have been shattered, and precedents have been broken. We decided to
capture the cultural mood by casting aside one of our own traditions, and we’re
thrilled to have such a talented performer like Bell help us do so.”
“I am honored
to be part of the SAG Awards, and am a little nervous about being its
first-ever host,” Bell said. “I’m so glad that I’ll be in the company of
my fellow actors, many of whom I’ve worked with before, so I know they’ll be
warm and supportive. It’s going to be an amazing night.”
Kristen Bell currently
stars as the late Eleanor Shellstrop, who may have landed in the wrong
afterlife in The Good Place, opposite Ted Danson. Also in 2018 she
will star in the Netflix comedy Like Father, with Kelsey Grammer as
her titular dad. Bell then is reprising her role as Anna in the 2019
sequel to Disney’s Frozen, the highest grossing animated film of
all time. She appeared in the musical special Encore, which she
also executive produced. Her extensive list of credits includes films like A
Bad Moms Christmas and CHiPs, and television series such
as House of Lies, Veronica Mars, and a guest-starring
arc on Parks & Recreation.
