The Emmys get LOST
Whee, the
Emmy Awards were on tonight, and
LOST won for best Drama Series! Whoa. Totally didn't expect that. The show also won for best Directing for a Drama Series (for "Pilot (Part 1 & Part 2)", the most appropriately-titled pilot episode I've ever seen) -- against the
CSI season finale directed by
Quentin freakin'
Tarantino. Like, dude. I really enjoyed that
CSI episode, but I also enjoyed the
LOST pilot, and seeing as my loyalties lie with
LOST, I was glad
J.J. Abrams won. :D
Also worth sticking around for was watching
Kristen Bell (of
Veronica Mars fame) sing the theme song from
Fame, complete with '80s getup and backup dancers. Hee. Unfortunately, she lost "Emmy Idol" to Donald Trump & Megan Mullally because...well, Donald Trump. Singing. Hello. Also, I'm certain it's because I didn't vote. Yes. That's why
Veronica Kristen Bell didn't win. All my fault. Apologies. :)
Anyhoodle, for all those of you who actually care (I've been talking to myself a lot, lately...why not keep the trend going?), here's the run-down on the awards
LOST won.
- Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series
- Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series:
Pilot (Parts 1 & 2)- Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Dramatic Underscore):
Pilot- Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series:
Pilot (Parts 1 & 2)- Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series: J.J. Abrams,
Pilot (Parts 1 & 2)- Outstanding Drama Series (other nominees were
Deadwood,
Six Feet Under,
24, and
The West Wing)
(Hmm, I guess the Academy really liked the pilot. Well, so did I, so no complaints there. Besides, I think it's actually the most expensive pilot ever, so...you know, at least it had good results!)
