Emmy Awards


In 2005, Lost was nominated for twelve Primetime Emmy Awards and won six, including Outstanding Drama Series, which was considered an unusual win since the Primetime Emmy Awards had rarely recognized science fiction or fantasy programs. It also won Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series for co-creator J. J. Abrams (for his direction on the pilot episode), Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series, and three additional awards for the pilot episode. The following year, the series was nominated for nine awards, but failed to win any. Despite winning for Outstanding Drama Series the previous year, Lost was not nominated in 2006. This was referenced in host Conan O'Brien's opening segment at the 58th Primetime Emmy Awards; he lands on a beach and encounters Jorge Garcia. O'Brien jumps into a hatch and invites Garcia to come along to the ceremony, but Garcia tells him that they "weren't exactly invited", to which O'Brien responds by saying "Really? But you won last year! Nothing makes sense anymore!" In 2007, the series was nominated for six awards, but again failed to gain a nomination for Outstanding Drama Series. Additionally, Terry O'Quinn became the first Lost actor to win a Primetime Emmy Award, picking up the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his performance as John Locke in "The Man from Tallahassee" (season 3, episode 13). In 2008, the series received eight nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series after being snubbed the two previous years; the season only won Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (One-Hour) for "Meet Kevin Johnson" (season 4, episode 8). In 2009, the series received six nominations and won two; Michael Emerson became the second actor from Lost to win a Primetime Emmy Award, winning for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his performance as Ben Linus in "Dead Is Dead" (season 5, episode 12). The website DharmaWantsYou.com won a special award for Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media – Fiction. In 2010, the sixth and final season of Lost received thirteen nominations, including a fourth and final nomination for Outstanding Drama Series, which it lost to season 3 of Mad Men, as in the two previous years. The season only won Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series for the finale.
