Twenty years after winning an Emmy for the first time, Mariska Hargitay just picked up two more.
The beloved Law & Order: Special Victims Unit actress, 62, took home a pair of trophies on Saturday, September 5 at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater, where Night 1 of the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards was held.
