It turns out everybody wants to see Kristen Bell at the helm of an awards show: The performer will return this year as host of the Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA. This will be her third time leading the ceremony; she was the night’s first-ever host back in 2018 and took the stage again in 2025. “I've had fun every time I have hosted,” says Bell. The 32nd annual ceremony will stream live on Netflix Sunday, March 1, at 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET.
The Nobody Wants This star is honored to host a night that celebrates her acting peers. “There’s something that feels so special and divine about … [having] the opportunity to be given the stage and entertain in front of a group of entertainers that I admire,” she tells Netflix. “I’m just very grateful that it’s me, because I like entertaining, and I like being goofy, and I like making people smile. So to be given this stage, it feels like an award in and of itself.”
In addition to toasting this year’s nominated performances across film and television, the Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA will honor Harrison Ford with the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award, which recognizes an individual who has improved the image of the acting profession and carries with them a humanitarian spirit.
