You Might’ve Missed Marcello Hernandez’s Dinner Invitation to Zendaya, Tom Holland at Emmys

And although Matthew McConaughey wasn’t in the audience at the time—he and Woody Harrelson presented Outstanding Comedy Series at the end of the night—Hernandez also took the time to recount a story of his aunt telling him as a kid that if he worked “very hard,” he might get the opportunity to spend time with him. 

He joked, “I’m basically doing it.”

Hernandez’s presentation wasn’t the only winning moment of Emmys night. In host Mariska Hargitay’s monologue, she gave Nicole Kidman’s iconic AMC commercial a run for its money, carefully refiguring it for a night honoring TV. 

And when Kidman interrupted her saying, “That’s mine, that’s my bit, you can’t do that.”

To which Hargitay quipped back, “Zip it, movie lady—it’s TV’s turn tonight.”
