Hey there, friends. Let me tell you something fascinating about the 2018 Screen Actors Guild Awards. This year, the ceremony is making history by featuring an all-female lineup of presenters for the very first time. Yep, you heard that right. According to the Hollywood Reporter, all 13 awards will be handed out exclusively by women at the 24th annual SAG Awards, which is set to air on Sunday, January 21. In past years, presenters have always been paired—one man and one woman. But this year, the SAG Awards are breaking that mold. And to top it all off, Frozen star Kristen Bell is stepping up as the host.
When the news broke, Kristen Bell spoke candidly to the New York Times about her role and the significance of this moment. "Culturally, there’s always been a conversation about equality," she said. "But now, it feels like this conversation is under a massive spotlight—complete with pyrotechnics in the background." She added, "I’m not the first female host. I’m the first host. Period. The fact that a woman was chosen to be the first one means my gender doesn’t matter. An awards show isn’t as serious as the conversation deserves to be. And this night will celebrate women more than any other SAG Awards has—and possibly more than any other show has." Powerful words, right?
