Mariska was on the set and working when she began to feel chest tightness and was uncomfortable.  Work immediately stopped and she was taken to the hospital, where she was admitted.  From USWeekly:

Mariska Hargitay’s lung collapsed so she missed the Golden Globe awards. That’s going a little extreme to get out of a boring awards show, don’t ya think?  Seriously, the actress has been having lung troubles since Christmas, when it collapsed the first time.
