LOST strikes out at the 2010 Emmys

Ouch. LOST didn’t pick up any Emmys tonight. (They did get one for editing in an early ceremony held a week ago.)

Here are some memories of better LOST times at the Emmys:

(Editing to add): While this has nothing to do with LOST, I wanted to add this clip of Ricky Gervais from last night’s Emmys because it was my favorite bit of the night:

Here are short sniplets from each of the three songs:

The Island it was mythical
But in the end they died
I didn’t understand it
But I tried

Jorge Garcia in opening number in 2010 Emmys

Jorge Garcia (Hurley) was in the Glee-inspired opening song and dance number for the Emmys. Here’s a short clip of the opening number. Jorge comes on at the end:

Want to see more of Jorge singing? Here are some oldies-but-goodies from the blog archives:

Congratulations, Michael Giacchino

Congratulations to Michael Giacchino, LOST’s composer, for winning the 2010 Oscar for Best Original Score for the movie Up.

Memorable quote from his acceptance speech:

I know there are kids out there that don’t have that support system, so if you’re out there and you’re listening, listen to me — if you want to be creative, get out there and do it. It’s not a waste of time. Do it. OK?

Here’s a clip of the music from Up:

Congratulations, Michael Emerson, on your well-deserved Emmy win!

The backstage interview:

Pre-Emmy interview of Michael Emerson

TV Guide did a video interview of Michael Emerson and his wife, Carrie Preston, in their Los Angeles home.

Michael showed some of his drawings (it’s not fair that one person can have so many talents!):

He’s not making any predictions about whether he will win the Emmy this year, the third time he’s been nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor for a Drama Series for his brilliant work on LOST. He said he’ll just be happy to dress up and go to the party.

Here’s the interview:

The Emmys are tomorrow night, Sunday, September 20, 2009 on CBS at 8:00 PM (7:00 PM Central). Tune in and root for Emerson; for the show itself, which is nominated for Outstanding Drama Series; and for the writers (Darlton), editors, and sound mixers who are all nominated for their work on the season finale, The Incident.
