If the Golden Globes are anything to go by, this year’s award shows look set to be much more female-focused.

After the success of the Time’s Up movement, which saw actresses including Meryl Streep, Natalie Portman and Reese Witherspoon wear black to stand in solidarity with victims of harassment, the Screen Actors Guild Awards are trying to follow suit.

Women will be taking centre stage at the SAG Awards on 21 January – with actress Kristen Bell starring as the host (a first for the annual event).

“She’s not our first female host, she’s our first host, period, and that says a lot,” said Screen Actors Guild Awards committee member Elizabeth McLaughlin, according to the Los Angeles Times.

“I think she’s going to do an amazing job. She’s hilarious and charming and smart, and I think she’s really going to set the tone for the awards this year.”

The Good Place actress will only be joined by other women on stage throughout the evening, as awards are given out for outstanding performances in film and prime time television.

“This year at the SAG Awards, we are celebrating women,” continued McLaughlin. “So, with the exception of the winners of our actor categories, there will only be women onstage.”
