Mariska Hargitay wins two Emmy Awards for her HBO Max documentary “My Mom Jayne,” honored at the 2026 Creative Arts Emmy ceremony. Both outlets report that the recognition comes for the film “My Mom Jayne: A Film by Mariska Hargitay.” Deadline adds that Hargitay delivers remarks onstage acknowledging Gloria Steinem during her acceptance.
The documentary focuses on Hargitay’s late mother, actress Jayne Mansfield, and also includes an exploration tied to questions around Hargitay’s own biological origins. Deadline describes the project as combining biographical material with a mystery element, while also framing the wins as part of the lead-up to Hargitay’s upcoming role hosting the televised Primetime Emmy Awards. Forbes focuses more directly on the awards themselves and the specific ceremony where the wins occur, without extending into the personal remarks included in Deadline’s account.
