\n\tMariska Hargitay<\/a> is going into her Emmys<\/a> hosting gig<\/a> as a winner.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe star, who is helming the Primetime Emmys on Sept. 14, took home two prizes at the Creative Arts Emmys<\/a> for My Mom Jayne<\/a>: A Film By Mariska Hargitay. She landed wins for directing for a documentary\/nonfiction program and for outstanding documentary or nonfiction special; the night brings Hargitay\u2019s career Emmy total to three, after she won best actress for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in 2006.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt feels extraordinarily new and it\u2019s deeply meaningful for me to have gone into a completely different arena, and to be recognized like this is really beyond my wildest dreams,\u201d she told reporters backstage of how these two trophies compare to her one from two decades ago.<\/p>\n

\n\tHargitay also spoke about this particular moment in her career, where she\u2019s living by the motto of \u201cI just say yes. I said yes to Broadway and I said yes to hosting the Emmys \u2014 when they called me, I thought it was a joke, and then I went, \u2018Why not?’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s a year of firsts and a year of saying yes and not limiting myself or not being governed by fear. Like, what would I do if I wasn\u2019t afraid? What if it all works out?\u201d she continued. \u201cI\u2019m in that place right now of going, \u2018I\u2019ll figure it out.\u2019 I\u2019m really happy right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe also gave a hint at her mindset heading into the main show<\/a>, admitting, \u201cIt\u2019s been a big week, this hosting the Emmys is no joke,\u201d teasing that NBC \u201cundersold it to me\u201d and told her it would just be two days of rehearsal, which was \u201ca lie.\u201d However, she expressed how excited she was to be working with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert writing team on her material and added, \u201cI just can\u2019t believe at this place in my life \u2014 my third act is starting and it\u2019s pretty awesome.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mariska Hargitay is going into her Emmys hosting gig as a winner.
