Lost Producers Look For Emmy Glory
Jun 6th, 2007
Buddy TV Writes:
Last year LOST was famously snubbed at the Emmys in most of the major dramatic award categories. Some blamed it on LOST outing itself with more straight sci-fi elements, others noted the unevenness of the season, most, however, blamed a new voting system that seemed to favor newcomers over consistency. In the blogosphere, the debate raged that LOST’s descent into formula and the mishandling of major reveals validated its omission from the major characters, while stalwart fans were incredulous over the Emmy snub. With a redeeming third season behind it, many considering it the best season of LOST ever, the fan’s, as well as the creator’s, hopes are galvanized once again. We have some early word on what LOST producers may be submitting for Emmy consideration, and the selection looks diverse, and good.
For the big category, Outstanding Drama Series, producers submit the episode that defined their creation at its apex. This year LOST producers have selected the third season finale “Through the Looking Glass,†written by LOST show runners Damon lindelof and Carlton Cuse and directed by Executive Producer/LOST Veteran Jack Bender, as the prime example of their achievements this season.
The finale created a stir with its unexpected revelation that at least two characters will get off the island, but that getting off the island is not the end of the story. In addition, the episode delivered action and adventure on a cinematic scale as the long awaited clash between the 815’rs and “The Others†played out. Fans also got a better look at yet another mysterious Dharma station, the “Looking Glass†of the title. Aside from the action, adventure, and mind blowing twists, there were typical moments of LOST ambiguity as we came to question who the good guys ‘really’ were, and caught a glimpse of cast members from seasons past.
