Kristen Bell returned as host of the SAG Awards on Sunday and opened the show with a song.
Bell addressed the audience with a heartfelt tribute to honor actors in the room who shared the same dream — to become an actor. “I just want to say everyone in this room, and I do mean everyone, including the camera operators on the side over here and over here, the writers backstage, the director in the booth and all of the actors in their seats. Everyone started out as a kid in ‘Somewhere, Earth,’ going to bed and waking up every morning thinking, ‘It’s going to be me,’” she said. “So yes, Justin Timberlake owes us all a piece of that song. Look for my email petition.”
Bell then explained how the night was “to honor the actor’s journey” before breaking out into singing: “And it leads you to the question, do you want to be an actor?” — performing a tweaked version of the song “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” from Frozen, in which she starred as Anna.
Throwback photos of actors like Timothée Chalamet, Harrison Ford, Selena Gomez, Jodie Foster, Elle Fanning and more in their first projects appeared on the screen.
Also in the monologue, the Forgetting Sarah Marshall actress thanked the Los Angeles firefighters who helped with the devastating wildfires that occurred last month.
Sunday marked Bell’s second time hosting the SAG Awards. She was nominated for best actress in a comedy series for the rom-com series Nobody Wants This but lost to Jean Smart of Hacks.
The 31st annual SAG Awards took place at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles and streamed live on Netflix. See what stars hit the red carpet and the winners list.
