00:00Mariska Hargitay's documentary My Mom Jane could earn the star her first Oscar nomination.
00:06The Hollywood Reporter can exclusively report that Hargitay's documentary about her late mother
00:10Jane Mansfield has qualified for Oscar contention, thanks to a theatrical run in the Los Angeles
00:16area the week before it premiered on HBO June 27. Hargitay and company are committed to giving
00:21the doc a real grassroots push this awards season. My Mom Jane has received praise from
00:26critics and audiences alike. The film currently has a 100% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes and
00:31a 98% audience score. I use my pin-up type publicity to get my foot in the door. Her career made me want
00:38to do it differently, but I want to understand her now. Hargitay tells THR's Scott Feinberg,
00:45the messages I have received both directly and through social media since we released My Mom
00:49Jane have been extraordinary. It has been beautiful to see how the story has not only resonated with
00:54people, but how many have been moved to engage with their own family's stories in a new way.
00:58I am excited to keep sharing this film and deeply grateful that so many have joined me in remembering
01:03and discovering My Mom in This Way. HBO said in a statement to THR,
01:07We're incredibly proud of the film and heartened by the extraordinary audience reception.
01:12We continue efforts to raise awareness for this remarkable film. It's worth noting that both
01:16Mansfield and Hargitay are Golden Globe winners, but Mansfield never received an Oscar nomination.
01:21Rather poetically, this film could bring Hargitay one. For much more on this story,
