Nicole Kidman Calls Out Emmy Host for Stealing Her Iconic Ad
“That’s my bit,” the Oscar winner said. “You can’t do that.”
Nicole Kidman jokingly called out Emmy host Mariska Hargitay for spoofing her much-meme’d AMC promo.
“Dazzling images on the silver screen, sound that I can feel,” Hargitay said while light emanated from behind her. Kidman interrupted, prompting widespread laughter from the audience.
“No, Mariska, come on,” she said. “That’s mine. That’s my bit. You can’t do that.”

Kidman shut her down again, saying, “No, no. That’s my line. That is actually my line.”
