Emmy Awards

Mariska Hargitay took a stab at Nicole Kidman's AMC ad as she kicked off hosting the Emmys Monday ... while the iconic actress was sitting right there!

The "Law & Order: SVU" star ripped the recognizable promo word for word, and Nicole was quick to call her out.

When the movie star tried to get Mariska to back off her bit ... the Emmys host said not a chance!

They say dress for the part you want and Meg Stalter's taking it literally ... dressing like an Emmys trophy as she hit the awards show red carpet.

Meg pulled out all the stops ... covering herself head to toe in gold paint, a CAKES Cleavage bra and a massive pair of gilded wings.

The comedy queen is nominated for her first Emmy tonight ... she's up for Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series for her role as Kayla Schaeffer in "Hacks."

Happy Emmy Day y'all!

Can you unhack this Emmy nominated star? Here are your clues:

She took home the W last year for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. She plays a stubborn, struggling comedian alongside many greats like Jean Smart and Paul W. Downs.

"South Park" just added another Emmy to its trophy case ... and immediately handed President Trump the punchline.

The Comedy Central series won Outstanding Animated Program Sunday for "Sermon On The 'Mount," an episode that heavily satirized Trump and even depicted him in bed with Satan.

After the win, the show's social media account posted an image of its animated Trump clutching the trophy with the message, "You finally got your Emmy."

Rob Reiner is still getting honored by Hollywood ... winning a posthumous Emmy for his role in “The Bear” months after he and his wife were found dead.

The late actor took home Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series at the 2026 Creative Arts Emmys Sunday night for playing Albert Schnurr, a businessman who helps Ebraheim develop a plan to expand The Beef's sandwich window.

Wendi McLendon-Covey accepted the award on Rob's behalf ... and the room erupted in a standing ovation. She told the crowd, “We all wish he was here.”

The Emmy marks Rob’s third win, and his first in nearly 50 years. He previously won for playing Michael “Meathead” Stivic on “All in the Family” in 1974 and 1978.

As we’ve previously reported, Rob and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead in their Los Angeles home in December. Their son, Nick Reiner, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and has pleaded not guilty.

“The Bear” also paid tribute to Rob during its series finale ... with Ebraheim calling Albert to share news about franchising The Beef before signing off with “as you wish,” a nod to Rob’s classic film “The Princess Bride.”

The late and great Rob Reiner is up for a new award ... he's among the nominees for this year's Emmys ... getting a posthumous nomination for his work in "The Bear."

Rob played Albert Schnur in Season 4 of the hit FX series ... appearing in 3 episodes in one of his last roles as an actor ... a franchiser mentoring Edwin Lee Gibson's Ebraheim as he tries to expand The Original Beef sandwich walk-up restaurant.

While Season 5 of "The Bear" just aired ... Season 4 is what is eligible for Emmy noms for this award cycle, and now Rob is in the running for some hardware.

Season 5 includes a phone conversation with Rob's character that does not feature him in the scene ... but pays homage to the actor.

The 78th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are fast approaching ... and now we're finding out who will be sweating it out on the special night.

Actor Jeff Hiller of "Somebody Somewhere" fame and "The Bear" star Liza Colón-Zayas hosted the nominations special, which kicked off Wednesday morning.

Hit shows like "The Pitt," "Hacks," and "The Bear" were just a few of the hit programs nominated for gold ... while actors like Steve Carell, Chase Infiniti, and Zendaya snagged nominations of their own.

What are you doing out of line, chef?! Relax, Carmy, we're chattin' with Liza Colón-Zayas for a minute ... and she's doing a show-and-tell with her kitchen burn scars!!!

We got the Emmy-winning actor at LAX on Tuesday ... and our photog asked her about the battle scars she got from filming "The Bear."

Looks like Liza was cooking with too much grease on an episode or two ... because she showed us the burn she got on her hand while on set ... saying others have healed already, but this one she wears with pride.

The stars of "Heated Rivalry" didn't turn down Variety's "Actors on Actors" because of their Emmy ineligibility, despite speculation suggesting otherwise ... TMZ has learned.

Our sources tell us Connor Storrie, Hudson Williams and François Arnaud aren't avoiding the high-profile series over concerns about awards campaigning or optics ... instead, we're told the actors are just too busy.

Variety's co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh claims he tried to book the trio but was turned down ... and he says he's certain they would have accepted if "Heated Rivalry" was eligible for the next Emmy Awards. The show is not eligible because the Canadian streamer that produces the series did not submit it for consideration.

However, our sources say the Emmys, or lack thereof, played no part in their decision not to accept an invite to go on the show.

Roxana Zal -- the youngest-ever Emmy winner, making history at the 1984 awards ceremony at age 14 -- couldn't be happier for first-time winner and history-maker himself, Owen Cooper, for his award at Sunday night's Emmys at just 15 years old.

Roxana tells us she was "blown away" by his "brilliant and truly mesmerizing performance" in "Adolescence" ... and she was rooting for him to win last night.

She shares how it’s such an incredible moment to see Cooper join the history books as the youngest male Emmy winner -- she knows how life-changing and surreal this recognition can feel -- and she couldn’t be happier for him.

Hulk Hogan was among the celebrities inexplicably left out of the Emmys "In Memoriam" broadcast segment Sunday night ... and his ex-wife suspects it wasn't a simple error.

Linda Hogan tells TMZ … she believes Hulk’s snub was political, due to his right-wing embrace and support later in life -- including speaking at the RNC for President Trump last year -- despite the fact the wrestling superstar supported both sides of the aisle.

Hulk was among a few notable names not honored on the CBS show ... others included horror icon Tony Todd and "Sopranos" star Jerry Adler. An Emmys rep pointed out all of them, including Hulk, are included in a longer online version of the segment ... but it's just a scroll of names with zero production value, unlike the broadcast segment.

Connor Tomlinson isn't resting on his laurels after a big night at the Emmys ... telling us he's about to take his Hollywood career up a notch.

We got the "Love on the Spectrum" star Monday at LAX and our photog asked him about the reality show taking home two Emmy Awards.

The show won for Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program and Outstanding Casting for a Reality Program ... and Connor also presented an award alongside fellow cast member Tanner Smith.

Tony Todd's widow is once again beside herself, saying her late husband still isn't getting the recognition he deserves ... this time snubbed from the Emmys "In Memoriam" segment Sunday night.

Fatima Cortez Todd -- Tony's wife of 39 years -- tells TMZ ... she let out a deep sigh while watching the tribute, admitting it left her feeling hurt.

Considering Tony racked up roles on popular TV shows like "The Young and the Restless," "Hawaii Five-O," and "Matlock" ... Fatima feels like that should've warranted his inclusion.

Reba McEntire is shedding light on how her step-grandchildren are doing in the aftermath of their father Brandon Blackstock's death ... revealing they're still in the thick of grief.

The country legend shared the somber update with "Entertainment Tonight" at the 2025 Emmys on Sunday, where she noted the entire family misses Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband "every minute."

However, Reba shared one small silver lining amid the tragedy, explaining the loss of Brandon has brought his children closer together.

Ana Navarro is less than impressed with Jenna Ortega's bejeweled Emmys outfit ... saying the only reason the actress pulled off the look was thanks to her "really small titties."

The political commentator shared her 2 cents on the "Wednesday" star's fit during Monday's episode of "The View" ... and left her cohosts Sarah Haines and Whoopi Goldberg practically speechless with her POV.

Check it out ... Sunny Hostin kicks off the Emmys red carpet commentary by praising Ortega's Givenchy-designed look as "fabulous," applauding the bold gemstone design.

Hannah Einbinder's head-turning political Emmys speech struck a chord with the Department of Homeland Security ... which is now clapping back at her targeted remarks.

ICYMI ... during her acceptance speech for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, Einbinder wrapped it with "F*** ICE and free Palestine."

Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin tells TMZ ... "How ugly — such demonization is inspiring violence against our ICE law enforcement who are facing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them."
