Law & Order: SVU icon Mariska Hargitay had a major night at the 2026 Creative Arts Emmys, taking home two awards for her directorial debut, My Mom Jayne.
The acclaimed documentary explores the life and legacy of Hargitay’s mother, the late Hollywood star Jayne Mansfield.
Emotional Milestone: During her acceptance, Hargitay noted the emotional weight of the project, stating, “It’s an emotional moment, because what feels most natural to say is ‘On behalf of my mom and myself, thank you.’ I’m profoundly grateful to have this moment with her.”
Family Support: Her husband, actor Peter Hermann, was by her side to support her during the milestone evening.
The major recognition arrives just days before Hargitay is set to take the stage as the host of the 2026 Primetime Emmy Awards, which will air live on Monday, September 14.
