"Lost" captures 8 Emmy nominations

The fourth season of "Lost," ABC's made-in-Hawaii drama, scored eight Emmy Award nominations this morning, including one for best drama series and a supporting-actor nod for Michael Emerson, who plays the mysterious Ben Linus.

The show was not nominated for writing or directing; the other nominations were for editing, cinematography, sound editing and sound mixing, plus Michael Giacchiano was nominated for musical composition. The eighth nomination was in the category of Special Class -- Short-format Live-action Entertainment Programs, for "Lost: Missing Pieces," mini-episodes posted online at www.abc.com.

Season 4 was viewed as a comeback season for "Lost," which floundered with viewers and critics last year. Emerson's mesmerizing performance as Ben, the brilliant leader of the Others whose motives are always obscure, was one of the primary factors. He was also nominated last year but did not win; Terry O'Quinn took the Emmy for his role as John Locke.

Emerson won an Emmy in 2001 for a guest role as a serial killer on "The Practice."

Also nominated as top dramatic series were "Boston Legal," "Damages," "Dexter," "House," and "Mad Men."

Nominated with Emerson are William Shatner, "Boston Legal"; Ted Danson, "Damages"; Zeljko Ivanek, "Damages"; and John Slattery, "Mad Men."

Choose your Dharmaholic 6

We have set up our very own Lost fantasy league...

But where would be the fun in having a standard league like every other LOST site?

No.... we are doing this the shotglass way!!!


You pick a team of 6 LOST characters..(the Dharmaholic 6) You will get points(pints) every episode one of your team has a drink/pours a drink/appears drunk/is seen in a bar... Your team member can only score once per episode and not per drink(I know everyone will just pick Jack and think they can pick up easy points)...not so fast!! Every character is given a numerical value on the likelyhood of him/her downing some Dharmahol,so you could go for the easy option of picking Yeti-Jack etc and build a steady but small haul of points...but who knows what will happen to our Losties in the new season..take a few chances...at the rate Walt is growing he could be chugging a 6-pack the next time we see him..(Aaron flashforward in a bar getting Jack-Faced with Ji-Yeon?..Mega points) There are 6 groups to pick from..(pick one from each...) There will be a chance to substitute 2 drinkers half way through the season,in case one or more of your picks die or are not appearing as much as the other characters!

LOST season 4 Finale!!

Last season's finale of "Lost" (ABC, 9 p.m.) gave the first glimpse of life off the island for what turned out to be a half-dozen survivors of Oceanic Flight 815.

It was quite a jolt at the time, if for no other reason than the show that was practically created on flashbacks flashed forward for the first time.

Much of this season, moving forward and back, has been spent telling how the group that has become known as the Oceanic 6 actually made it off the island.

In tonight's season finale, that moment in the future when they get off the island gets even closer, though it seems inevitable there will be a battle first — with the freighter people, whose mission was not to save them, and even with Locke, who seems adamant about staying.


It has been a pretty satisfying season, all told, given its brevity. Beautifully shot and well acted, "Lost" is one of the few network shows that require a lot of thought and reward close viewing. Savor the 2-hour farewell for a show that won't be back until 2009.
