00:00We'd also like to thank the evil entity on the island that trusted us with its story.
00:05Widow's Bay wins big, Mariska Hargitay rocks out, and Taylor Swift drops in to drop some Easter
00:11eggs. We're breaking down the top winners and every moment you need to see from the 2026 Emmys.
00:17Hargitay hosted the show, and we saw Detective Olivia Benson like we'd never seen her before.
00:21She opened the ceremony with her own rendition of I Love Rock and Roll called I Love TV Screens,
00:26where she shouted out this year's nominees.
00:30Get out the Marriott. Catch another Brunson, nail the shot.
00:36It even included an awkward moment with Nicole Kidman.
00:40Sound that I can feel.
00:43No, Mariska, come on.
00:45What?
00:45That's mine. That's my bit. You can't do that.
00:49And a special cameo from New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson, because of course Hargitay is a fan.
00:54I gotta get to the airport. I don't have time to sit around and steam outfits with you.
00:58I gotta go.
01:00But Brunson wasn't her only superstar connection to make an appearance.
01:04Taylor Swift joined Hargitay and the rest of the Law & Order SVU cast for a pre-taped sketch
01:09all about her famous Easter eggs. And she appeared to drop some new ones for Swifties to decode.
01:13I think what we're going to be looking for is hiding in plain sight.
01:18Saccharide, Aries, from the vineyard, north or south.
01:23Okay, Swifties, time to get to work.
01:25Meanwhile, the show also included many emotional moments.
01:28During the In Memoriam segment, three actors who famously played Catherine O'Hare's children,
01:32Macaulay Culkin, Annie Murphy, and Dan Levy, took the stage to pay tribute to her.
01:37Jamie Lee Curtis did the same for her friend Rob Reiner.
01:39And Reba McIntyre performed in honor of Dolly Parton.
01:48Plus, Michael J. Fox gave a moving speech when he was honored with the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award.
01:53He shared this about what he learned from Hope.
01:55I learned from his example.
01:56When it starts to get tough, you show up, you help.
02:00And if you add a little joy while you're doing it, that's even better.
02:02As for the show's big winners, Widow's Bay started the night off strong,
02:06with Cato Flynn taking home the first award of the evening,
02:09Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
02:11The show went on to win the top prize of Best Comedy,
02:14Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Steven Root,
02:16and Best Actor in a Comedy Series for Matthew Rhys,
02:19who also won Best Actor in a Limited Orianthology Series for The Beast and Me,
02:23which set a record.
02:25If you try and taunt me, I'll stab you in the eyes with this.
02:27This is a real shock.
02:29Jean Smart also set a record as the first woman to win an Emmy
02:33for every season of a multi-season series
02:35when she won Best Actress in a Comedy for Hacks.
02:38Just the men stay standing.
02:39The girls get to sit down.
02:41I'm serious.
02:42No, I'm serious.
02:43Every time this happens, I think of the girls are going,
02:45oh, I just got comfortable.
02:47In terms of drama series,
02:48The Pit won the top prize for the second year in a row,
02:51and Noah Wiley once again took home the award for Best Drama Actor.
02:55This is overwhelming.
02:58And I just, I have to acknowledge the work of my fellow nominees.
03:03Plus, Ray Sehorne notably won her first Emmy
03:05for Best Actress in a Drama Series for Cloribus.
03:08Um, gosh, sorry.
03:11Sorry, this is me on a beta blocker.
03:13It's pretty bad.
03:15And DTF St. Louis was awarded with Best Limited Orianthology Series.
