A Complete Guide to Actor Awards 2026:
Who is Hosting?
Actress Kristen Bell will host the 32nd annual award ceremony. Sharing her excitement about hosting the show for the third time, the Nobody Wants This star said she had a lot of fun hosting the show last year. According to the actress, the biggest challenge this year will be to avoid referring to the event as the SAG Awards.
"I had a freaking blast last year as host. I enjoy entertaining and hosting things, where I get to be a goofball in my own little show constructed around this prized award honor. Renaming it is a big thing to apply to the old processor. There's been a lot of slip-ups. But we politely correct each other when I say the SAG Awards. Nope, it's now called the Actor Awards," she told USA TODAY.
