LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kristen Bell is returning as host of the Screen Actors Guild's Actor Awards for a third time.
The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, the union that presents the annual awards, announced Wednesday that Bell will emcee the March 1 awards, formerly known as the SAG Awards. Though the ceremony has often gone without a host, Bell was their first host in 2018 and she returned again last year.
“I’ve enjoyed hosting the show every time, so it was an easy decision to come back for a third,” Bell said in a statement. “What I’m most excited for is the fact that I’ll be doing what every actor does best ... sing.”
Netflix will again stream live the awards from the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles. “One Battle After Another” leads all nominees with seven nods, including for best ensemble. The other nominees for the guild's top award are: “Sinners,” “Hamnet,” “Marty Supreme” and “Frankenstein.”
“Having Kristen return to host feels like welcoming back a member of the family," said Jon Brockett, showrunner and executive producer for the awards. "One you actually want to hang out with."
