Mariska Hargitay opens the Emmy Awards ceremony with a monologue that includes humorous roasts directed at several high-profile entertainment figures, including Nicole Kidman. Multiple outlets report that Kidman is specifically called out in the remarks.
Both sources describe the monologue as broad and wide-ranging, using comedy to reference prominent names tied to television. Newsweek also reports that Hargitay jokes about Dick Wolf as part of the same opening segment, alongside Kidman and other figures. 7News Australia similarly characterizes the approach as making “no one” exempt from the comedic treatment, framing it as a general, entertainment-focused roast rather than a single-target joke.
While the outlets differ in how many names they list and how they characterize the breadth of the humor, they agree on the core point: Hargitay’s Emmys opening monologue features lighthearted comedic mockery, with Nicole Kidman among those mentioned.
