Mariska Hargitay Faces Criticism Over Emmys Hosting Appearance
- On Tuesday, Mariska Hargitay hosted the 78th Emmy Awards at Los Angeles' Peacock Theatre, becoming the first female host in 15 years.
- Hargitay kicked off the ceremony with a parody of Joan Jett's "I Love Rock and Roll" retitled "I Love TV Screens," though some viewers criticized the musical number on social media, labeling it "cringe."
- During her monologue, Hargitay recreated the famous AMC Theatres commercial featuring Nicole Kidman, who playfully interrupted protesting, "That's my bit." Hargitay fired back, "Zip it, movie lady."
- Leaning into her nearly three-decade run on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," Hargitay joked about the show's longevity while highlighting her recent two Emmy wins for documentary "My Mom Jayne" and Broadway work.
- Despite the divisive opening, the ceremony moved efficiently and finished under time, celebrating television's best work including actor Matthew Rhys' double acting win for "The Beast in Me.
