Mariska Hargitay has been attending some pretty cool events lately — the NBA finals, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding — and this September, she’ll be hosting one of… perhaps slightly less important events. Still, the 78th Emmy Awards will be the biggest TV awards ceremony of 2026, and the longtime star of Law and Order: SVU will be MCing the night.
Fun fact: Mariska Hargitay may end up being an Emmy nominee herself this year — an SVU acting nod is unlikely, but her acclaimed HBO documentary My Mom Jayne, about the complicated life of her mother Jayne Mansfield, is a contender. As host, it won’t be hard for her to top Nate Bargatze’s efforts from last year. All she has to do is keep the vibes positive, and not take money away from children in need.
