2018 SAG Awards: The Official Enstars Recap
The 24th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards show opened with Allison Janney, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Millie Bobby Brown reflecting on their childhood and how they became actors.
Women took centerstage at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles with Kristen Bell as the show's first-ever host and a lineup of all-female presenters.
The evening proved that #MeToo and Time's Up movements will remain a central focus throughout Hollywood's awards season.
"I'm not the first female host. I'm the first host. The fact that a female was chosen to be the first one means my genitals become irrelevant," Bell said.
