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.”
“What? No, Nicole, I’m not,” Hargitay responded before returning to her speech. “Somehow, heartbreak feels good in a place like this.”
Kidman shut her down again, saying, “No, no. That’s my line. That is actually my line.”
Kidman’s AMC promo has become a pop culture staple, prompting various parodies and even an SNL skit. AMC gave Kidman A-list status as a result of the ad’s wild success.
From the stage, Hargitay had one last quip for Kidman.
“Zip it, movie lady, it’s TV’s turn!” she said.
