Kristen Bell just delivered a strong opening monologue as the first ever host of the SAG Awards on Sunday.
Fronting a deliberately all-female presenter bill for the 2018 ceremony, The Good Place star presented a strong opening speech — and with the Time’s Up and #MeToo movements against systemic sexual abuse in Hollywood gaining immense traction, Bell’s monologue was always going to include a nod.

“She didn’t do it for the glory. She didn’t do it for the fame. She’s not here for the money. She did it for us. She knew the great importance of this character and what she could mean to the world if well done,” said Jenkins before presenting the award to Gadot, who led the film that would cross the $5 billion mark at the global box office in 2017.
