Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay was nominated for a Golden Globe this past weekend, but she wasn't at the ceremony—it turns out she has a pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung. TMZ reported that her lung also partially collapsed a few weeks ago and ter rep told the Daily News that Hargitay was not injured during L&O filming and that she will appear in all episodes this season. In other SVU news, Stephanie March, who played assistant district attorney Alex Cabot—until she went into witness protection—is coming back for six episodes. How? The Post's PopWrap explains, "she's no longer in witness protection because the person she was evading died in prison" and fills in for current ADA Kim Greylek (played by Michael McManus), who is in D.C. for an assignment. Tonight's episode is new: "Detective Benson goes undercover as a Madame to investigate the murder of a child prodigy living a double life."

Lots of movement with Gothamist's old, reliable standby, Law & Order. First of all, NBC is moving L&O from Wednesday at 10PM to 9PM. While an hour might not mean much, it actually means our head will explode, with Lost at 9PM on Wednesdays as is Veronica Mars. But this frees up Project Runway at 10PM!! We imagine Dick Wolf is pissed off to have to go head to head with Lost, but maybe that's better than going head to head with CSI: New York, which sucks, but has been putting up a good fight and winning the timeslot occasionally. Or perhaps Wolfie's silence was bought with NBC's go-ahead to his new drama with ADA Alex Cabot (Stephanie March/Mrs. Bobby Flay), Conviction (shh - it's character-driven).

The NY Times examines the Jerry Orbach effect on the latest Law & Order spinoff, Law & Order: Trial by Jury. Gothamist got misty when we read that Jerry was weaker when filming, and that there would be a mention of Detective Lenny Briscoe's death in the fifth episode. However, we've been a little unnerved by the NBC promos for L&O: TBJ, by saying, "Jerry Orbach's final performance" or whatever, because while they are his final performances, the promo seemed...crass. Of course, Gothamist would rather NBC devote an hour as a tribute to Jerry Orbach, so we're biased.
