Emmy Reflections-In Which Lost Wins An Award That I'd Never Expect

So...the day after the Emmys. Some of you are hungover, some of you are embittered, some of you are perfectly conect, and some of you didn't even realize the Emmys were on last night.

Now, I have to correct a few things before I start. The first is that my dear friend was correct in her comment. The JoBro that I got that really stalkerish close up picture of is in fact Kevin, and not Joe. It has since been corrected in my post.

The other correction I have to make is that Lost, did in fact, win an Emmy. And it also won some other awards, such as the TCA (Television Crtics Association) Award for "Oustanding Achievement in Drama". Although, I don't know if that applies for Season 5, or Season 6. I will just have to find now.

Now, I bet you're asking yourselves, "Well, what Emmy did Lost win? It certainly wasn't Primetime." And you'd be correct. Lost won an Emmy for Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series. Join me when I say, "WTF?"

As Lost's only Emmy win, this also means Michael Giacchino lost. Who the fuck did he lose to? I-oh. He lost to Sean Callery for 24. Okay. I'm trying really hard, but I can't be upset about that. Actually, I think this was 24's only win in its final season.

If I didn't love 24's score as much as I did, this would be an outrage.

Okay. Back to more reflecting. The night didn't turn out quite like I had wanted it to. At all. But I think that's more in part to the fact that I am a biased Lost fan.

But that doesn't really change the fact that it was boring as hell. When I get a host for an awards show, I expect to be entertained, DAMN IT! Everytime Jimmy Fallon popped up with that fucking guitar, I cringed and proceeded to weep.

It is my personal belief that Stephen Colvert needs to host the Emmys. That is all I have to say on the matter.

  1. Michael Giacchino is a god. Also a Colbert-hosted Emmys would make my brain explode.

    That is all.
