LOST Gets Five Emmy Nods

Hello from warm and sunny San Jose, California! It is six days into our road trip and this is the first time I've had a chance to go on an actual computer. (I have been living on my BlackBerry and iPod Touch.)

I did not even know that the Emmy Awards nominations were going to be announced this morning. I must have forgotten it because of all the fun I'm having. Hehehehe...

It's nice to see that LOST is nominated for five awards:

Outstanding Drama Series
Lost • ABC • Grass Skirt Productions and ABC Studios

Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing For A Drama Series
Lost • The Incident • ABC • Grass Skirt Productions and ABC Studios
Stephen Semel, Editor
Mark Goldman, Editor
Chris Nelson, Editor

Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Comedy Or Drama Series (One Hour)
Lost • The Incident • ABC • Grass Skirt Productions and ABC Studios
Robert Anderson, Production Sound Mixer
Ken King, Production Sound Mixer
Scott Weber, Re-Recording Mixer
Frank Morrone, Re-Recording Mixer

Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series
Lost • ABC • Grass Skirt Productions and ABC Studios
Michael Emerson, as Ben Linus

Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series
Lost • The Incident • ABC • Grass Skirt Productions and ABC Studios
Carlton Cuse, Writer
Damon Lindelof, Writer

Like the previous years, I really hope that LOST wins any of the major awards (best drama, best supporting actor - drama, and best writing - drama). LOST's win for the sound mixing in the Creative Emmys last year was nice, but Michael Emerson was robbed in the supporting drama actor category.

I just have one question: how come Josh Holloway and Elizabeth Mitchell were snubbed? They were both amazing in Season 5, especially in the last several episodes, yet they aren't nominated. Evangeline Lilly also did a great job in "Whatever Happened, Happened" (her best acting yet). Jeremy Davies was also fantastic in Season 5. Nevertheless, congratulations to Michael Emerson for his Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series nomination!

I am so glad that Darlton's writing for the season 5 finale, "The Incident," was recognized. Congrats, Damon and Carlton! It's a shame, though, that Jack Bender's directing went unrecognized.

I am also glad that How I Met Your Mother (Outstanding Comedy Series), Neil Patrick Harris (Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series), Jim Parsons (Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series), Phil Keoghan (Outstanding Host For A Reality Or Reality-Competition Program), Fringe (Outstanding Special Visual Effects For A Series), and Sandra Oh & Chandra Wilson (Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series) are nominated. Yay!

And I was pleasantly surprised to see this:

Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media - Fiction
The Dharma Initiative • DharmaWantsYou.com
ABC Entertainment Marketing

Oh yeah!
