Washington DC: Actress Kristen Bell is all set to become Screen Actors Guild Awards' first ever host.

"We are delighted to have Kristen Bell as the first-ever host of the SAG Awards," the award show's executive producer Kathy Connell said on Monday, as reported by E! Online.

"This has been a year in which assumptions have been challenged, stereotypes have been shattered, and precedents have been broken. We decided to capture the cultural mood by casting aside one of our own traditions, and we're thrilled to have such a talented performer like Bell help us do so."

Post the announcement, the 'Frozen' star took to Twitter to share her excitement as she posted a comical video of herself. "Meet your host of the 24th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday Jan 21, 2018. @SAGawards."
