As the audience started to laugh, Olson sarcastically asked if he was "calling Meryl Streep a jockstrap?"

McElhenney blurted out "no!" before the camera cut to Streep looking stunned in the audience and looking down into her lap as she mouthed, "My god."

The actor then sheepishly added, "I'm so sorry, Meryl."

While Streep ended up losing the award to The Bear's Liza Colón-Zayaas, she still appeared to have an enjoyable night at the awards show, during which the three-time Emmy winner sat front row next to her Only Murders in the Building costar and rumored love interest, Martin Short.

The longtime pals were captured on video engaged in conversation after Short completed his presenting duties earlier in the show and took his seat next to Streep.
