Kristen Bell (Nobody Wants This, The Good Place) will return as host of this year’s SAG-AFTRA‘s annual Actor Awards streaming live on Netflix Sunday, March 1, from the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall.
“I’ve enjoyed hosting the show every time, so it was an easy decision to come back for a third,” said Bell, who previously hosted in 2025 and 2018. “What I’m most excited for is the fact that I’ll be doing what every actor does best…sing.”
“Kristen Bell knows this show,” said Jon Brockett, showrunner and executive producer for The Actor Awards, “she knows this community and she knows how to keep everyone entertained and laughing without ever losing the heart of the night. Having Kristen return to host feels like welcoming back a member of the family. One you actually want to hang out with.”
Bell currently stars in the Netflix comedy series Nobody Wants This alongside Adam Brody (she’s also an executive producer of the show). Recent acting credits include leading roles in the Amazon Prime comedy film The People We Hate at the Wedding and Netflix’s parody comedy The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window.
