Can LOST book-end the series with an Emmy win for its final season?! LOST picked up an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Drama (along with Breaking Bad, Dexter, Mad Men, True Blood, and The Good Wife). Of these, I have seen The Good Wife. It is a great show, but it is no LOST. What is your opinion of the others?
Matthew Fox was nominated for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series (together with Jon Hamm [Mad Men]; Kyle Chandler [Friday Night Lights]; Bryan Cranston [Breaking Bad]; Hugh Laurie [House M.D.]; and Michael C. Hall [Dexter]). While this was Foxy's best season, where is the love for Josh Holloway? I have seen a few episodes of House over the years, and Hugh Laurie is great - though I find the character mildly two dimensional. Haven't seen any of the other shows. Thoughts?
For Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, both Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson were recognized (along with John Slattery [Mad Men]; Aaron Paul [Breaking Bad]; Martin Short [Damages]; and Andre Braugher [Men of a Certain Age]). As thrilled as I am that O'Quinn and Emerson were nominated, they both deserved to be in the lead actor category. As I understand it, the actors determine which category to which they would like to be submitted. By choosing supporting actor, I suppose they improved their chances. Had they chosen lead actor, it would likely have bumped Foxy from the running, but would have opened the door for Jorge, Daniel and Naveen, who all had stellar years. And what about Nestor and (Henry) Ian? I guess the academy needs a category just for LOST supporting actors. Again, I have only seen one show, Men of a Certain Age. Andre Braugher is great, but I think Emerson ought to have this tied up, if not for this season, than for his entire body of work on LOST.
Surprise, surprise, the women were shut out. I know Elizabeth Mitchell didn't have enough screen time to warrant a nomination, but she still deserves one for the season five finale! Evangeline and Yunjin both had great years, and even Emilie's short screen time was notable.
What are your opinions of these nominations? Who was overlooked? What do you think of the other nominees?

Those other shows ARE great (but no LOST). If LOST sweeps, everyone will say it was a courtesy nod since the series is over. But I at least hope we get the ones we deserve. I do wish Nestor was up for something. Jack was one of my least favorite characters on the show. But at least we can say that this past season was his most broadest, emotionally. We saw him have disbelief, fear, mourn others, and finally, hope. But I still think there are better candidates for best actor, even outside of LOST. I'm crossing my fingers all around! :-)
