— -- The 24th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will be handed out this Sunday.

And for the first time ever, the awards show will have a host. Kristen Bell said she's excited to be tapped first.

"I won’t be compared to anyone else, which is kind of nice," she told ABC News. "Although I will say, there’s something kind of great about having people who have gone before you so you kind of know what works."

Bell said she likely won't hit below the belt while hosting or be too snarky, admitting, "I don't like to be negative."

"I hope they’ll want to giggle at themselves a little bit but we will keep it a very positive night," she said.

"Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" lead the movie pack of nominees with four nods each. Meanwhile, HBO's "Big Little Lies" along with Netflix's wrestling comedy "GLOW" and its sci-fi hit "Stranger Things" earned the most nominations on the TV side, also nabbing four nods.

The 54th Annual SAG Lifetime Achievement Award will be given to Morgan Freeman.

Presenters include "Get Out" star Daniel Kaluuya; "Mudbound's" Mary J. Blige and Jason Clarke; and "Three Billboards" leads Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, and Frances McDormand.

The SAG Awards ceremony will be simulcast live on TNT and TBS beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern time. Here's the full list of nominees:
