Hey guys. How about we make this lost_tv's official Golden Globes post?

Lost is up for Best Television Series - Drama and Evangeline Lilly is up for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Drama.

txvoodoo will be posting pics from the Globes here.

Feel free to post your reactions here, just keep it clean, okay? Thanks. :)

OK, I was gonna make fandom specific posts, but I'm still encoding and uploading video :D So instead I'm just going to point you to my Emmy Roundup Post, which I'll keep updating with new video as it goes up.

There are Evi bits there, and more going up!

Well, the Emmy nominations have been released, and LOST has garnered quite a few...

( nomination list )

Follow-up to my May 29th post on the show's Series and Acting FYCs. Just found out the episodes they submitted for nomination in the Drama Writing category:

• "Man of Science, Man of Faith"
  
• "The 23rd Psalm"
  
• "Dave"
  
• "S.O.S."

Basically, the same three eps they sent before, plus the Rose/Bernard ep, which I found interesting. God, I wish they'd included that in their acting submissions, too.

The submission period has been over for a few days now, but submission info for many shows is still leaking out bit by bit. Right now we're in the period where Emmy voters have the ballots in their hands, and shows (and actors, and TV critics) start blitzing the industry with ads and wishlists and other things in a last-ditch attempt to be remembered and make the shortlist. Ballots have to be returned by June 20, and noms are announced at 5:35a EDT on July 6.

As always, more when I find it.

ETA: Basic rundown of the Emmy process in the comments.

As the Primetime Emmy nominations draw near (June 16, I believe), info on many series' 'For Your Consideration' materials is coming to light. Producers, actors, and agents can do just about anything they find necessary to garner attention for themselves and their shows to make sure they're remembered when the noms come out. The most common methods are big, glossy ads in entertainment industry trade magazines (24's ad from the Hollywood Reporter, for example), and DVD packages sent out to voters. The packages can range from bare-bones (last year, Lost and Desperate Housewives, the season's biggest shows, sent two episodes apiece on one DVD in a simple case), clever (the House DVD and FYC booklet came in a blood bag), or elaborate (Everybody Hates Chris shipped out its ENTIRE first season in a giant milk carton that asks "Have you seen Chris?").

Everyone assumed Lost would make a big deal about their FYCs last year, but played it cool, with few ads and the aforementioned DVD with only "Pilot, pt. 1" and "Walkabout," probably figuring it was a better strategy to put all their eggs in a few baskets and push for just a few big things instead of going for everything they could. Matthew Fox didn't get in, but the show and O'Quinn got nommed (and Naveen, who I don't even think they pushed for...random).

They took the same approach this year.



Three episodes were included: "Man of Science, Man of Faith," "The 23rd Psalm," and "Dave." Aside from Series, the actors they chose to highlight are mostly obvious. Matthew Fox and Terry O'Quinn were brilliant in "MoSMoF" and AAA gave one of the season's greatest performances in "23rd," but "Dave" puzzled me because Jorge Garcia, even though I think he's one of the cast's best, will never get nominated--the competition's too stiff, even against his own castmates, plus "Dave" was a sucky episode for him. Then I remembered Michael Emerson (Henry).

Everyone I know assumed he was a shoo-in for a nod in Guest Actor - Drama, but one of the rules to be eligible in that category is that you can't appear in more than six episodes. Emerson was in seven, which means they'd have to push him Supporting, but we figured they wouldn't bother. But he is an Emmy winner (Guest Actor on The Practice a few years back), so voters will know him, plus he's going to be a regular next season, so it makes sense that they'd invest in getting him recognized. "Dave" is, after all, the one where Henry tells Sayid he's an Other but won't talk because he'll just end up dead anyway, and where he starts mindf***ing Locke about the button. So they're pushing for Emerson.

*MY* big question right now is if they're doing anything to try and get a Guest Actress nomination for L. Scott Caldwell, who did brilliant work as Rose and frankly should've been nommed last year. She didn't appear again after her sixth episode, even when it felt like she should (the double funeral and the finale, where Bernard appeared but not Rose), so I assumed they were trying to keep her eligible for Guest...but she's not in the eps on the FYC disc, and I haven't heard about ads or anything. I'm trying my best to find out more about that.

Thought folks here might wanna know.
