Nicole Kidman was roasted by Emmys host Mariska Hargitay after the Australian actor interrupted the Law & Order star.<\/p>\n

Hargitay, who has played Olivia Benson on the show for 28 seasons, shifted to a more heartfelt tone following a string of jokes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am truly deeply moved and so incredibly grateful to be in a room full of people who have dedicated their lives to telling stories,\u201d she began.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, we come to TV for magic, to laugh, to cry, to care, because we need that, all of us, that indescribable feeling that we get when the lights begin to dim.<\/p>\n

\u201cDazzling images on the silver screen, sound that I can feel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kidman then interjected by saying: \u201cNow, Mariska, come on, that\u2019s mine. That\u2019s my bit. You can\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s true \u2014 Hargitay\u2019s emotional lines were actually taken from Kidman\u2019s AMC cinema advert.<\/p>\n

The 60-second commercial, released in 2021, was designed to celebrate the magic of the communal moviegoing experience and entice people back to cinemas following the pandemic.<\/p>\n

It has since turned into a viral meme and the lines have become so recognisable among film fans that audiences often cheer or recite them when the ad plays in cinemas.<\/p>\n

As Hargitay continued, Kidman joked again: \u201cThat is my line. That is actually my line.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cZip it, movie lady! It\u2019s TV\u2019s turn tonight!\u201d Hargitay yelled, sending the crowd inside Los Angeles\u2019 Peacock Theatre into fits of laughter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nicole Kidman was roasted by Emmys host Mariska Hargitay after the Australian actor interrupted the Law & Order…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":892990,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,134],"class_list":["post-892989","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/892989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=892989"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/892989\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/892990"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=892989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=892989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=892989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
