SAG Awards host Kristen Bell supports Me Too in her speech

Kristen Bell showed her support for the Me Too movement in her opening speech at the SAG Awards. 

‘Everyone’s story deserves to be told. Especially now. We are living in a watershed moment,’ she said.

‘As we are march forward with active momentum and open ears, let’s make sure we are leading the charge with empathy and diligence because fear and anger never win the race. 

‘And most importantly, regardless of our differences, I think we can all come together in delight of one thing – Frozen 2 is coming out in theaters in 2019.’ 

Bell, who is hosting the awards this year, also made a thinly-veiled swipe at First Lady Melania Trump, knocking her cyber-bullying campaign.

Acknowledging the all-female hosting of tonight;s awards, she said:’I never thought I’d grow up to be the first lady, but you know what? I kinda like it.’

‘I think my first initiative as First Lady will be cyber-bullying, because I have yet to see any progress made on that problem quite yet.’

She started her speech by saying: ‘I am Kristen Bell and I am a narcissist. I’m sorry, and I’m an actor.’  

‘Everyone’s story deserves to be told. Especially now. We are living in a watershed moment,’ Bell said

Bell also made a dig at the Tea Party, adding: ‘The cast from Get Out is here serving as a walking reminder that if you say yes to the Tea Party you’re immediately on your way to the sunken place.’

The awards season has taken on a more somber tone this year following the allegations of sexual abuse and harassment against a series of male stars and directors, such as Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey.

Most women wore black to the Golden Globe Awards two weeks ago, but color returned to the red carpet in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
