Mariska Hargitay<\/a> paid tribute to the late Gloria Steinem as she picked up two Primetime Emmy Awards on Saturday (05.09.26) night.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Mariska Hargitay won two Emmy awards<\/p>\n
The Law and Order: Special Victims Unit actress was “utterly overwhelmed” to accept the Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special and Outstanding Directing for a Documentary\/Nonfiction Program prizes for My Mom Jayne, her HBO film about her late mother Jayne Mansfield, and she gave a nod to the feminist icon, who died earlier this week at the age of 92.<\/p>\n
Speaking on stage at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles during night one of the 78th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards – which were previously known as the Creative Arts Emmys – Mariska said as she accepted her first trophy: \u201cMy hero and friend Gloria Steinem recently said, \u2018Please tell your own story.’ The most important thing we can do for each other is to know each other through stories. I got to know my mother through telling the story. It\u2019s a gift that\u2019s indescribable.\u201d<\/p>\n
And when she accepted the prize for directing, she referenced Steinem’s advice again as she said: \u201cI just want that invitation to go out, especially to women. I\u2019m so excited to explore and discover and innovate new ways of telling stories from half of the earth\u2019s population because we don\u2019t hear from you enough. I can\u2019t wait to get to know you…<\/p>\n
\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m utterly overwhelmed. I just wanted to share with you that it took me a while when I decided to make this film during the pandemic. It took me a while to realise that this was my story to tell. I could direct it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nIn the Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special category, My Mom Jayne won ahead of John Candy: I Like Me; Marty, Life Is Short; Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man!; and Ocean with David Attenborough, while for directing, Mariska was up against Lawrence Kasdan of Marty, Life Is Short; Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio for Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man!; Alexandria Stapleton for Sean Combs: The Reckoning; and Rebecca Miller for Mr. Scorsese.<\/p>\n
\nMeanwhile, Octavia Spencer won her first Emmy with a surprise victory in the Outstanding Narrator category for her work on true-crime series Lost Women of Alaska.<\/p>\n
\nThe 56-year-old actress’ win stopped Sir David Attenborough becoming the oldest Emmy winner ever as the 100-year-old broadcaster was shortlisted twice in the category for both Netflix\u2019s A Gorilla Story: Told By David Attenborough and National Geographic\u2019s Ocean with David Attenborough. The category was rounded out by nominations for Breakdown: 1975 narrator Jodie Foster and Werner Herzog for Ghost Elephants.<\/p>\n
\nElsewhere, despite its controversial cancellation, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ended Last Week Tonight with John Oliver’s 10-year streak in the Outstanding Writing For A Variety Series category, which also had Jimmy Kimmel Live! on the shortlist.<\/p>\n
\nAccepting the accolade, executive producer Tom Purcell said: \u201cI\u2019d like to thank all those who keep late-night going, [John] Oliver, [Jimmy] Kimmel, super important institution in this country, keep the flame burning, guys.”<\/p>\n
\nOnline series Colbert Before Air won the Outstanding Short Form Comedy, Drama Or Variety Series prize, and the CBS show also took a win for picture editing.<\/p>\n
\nNight two of the Primetime Emmy Awards takes place on Sunday (06.09.26) ahead of the televised Primetime Emmy Awards – which will be hosted by Mariska – on 14 September.<\/p>\n
