No Love for Lost at Emmys

Apparently, no one on the Academy understood the final episode, either.

By Laura Dannen August 30, 2010

This is all you need to know about last night’s Emmys: Modern Family won best comedy, Mad Men won best drama, Top Chef took the reality TV torch away from The Amazing Race, and Lost won absolutely nothing for its mind-melting sixth and final season. (A preshow picture editing award barely counts.) The show’s best shots at Emmy love, Terry O’Quinn and Michael Emerson, both lost to Breaking Bad‘s Aaron Paul for best supporting actor in a drama, even though O’Quinn played at least three characters—including a smoke monster—on a weekly basis.

Is any of this surprising? Not really. Lost fans jumped ship this season as they started to realize their questions about four-toed statues weren’t going to be answered. What was surprising was how entertaining Jimmy Fallon was as the host of the show, especially in their Glee-inspired opening number, which even featured a singing/dancing Jon Hamm. Enjoy the YouTube clip with your second cup of coffee.
