Lost nominated for TWELVE Emmys - incl. Best Drama! (merged)

ixoy

'Lost' has gotten some Emmy nods....check it out:

1) Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series
Up against: Deadwood, Grey's Anatomy, House, Nip/Tuck, 24

If there's any justice in the world, it should win this. An outstanding cast that gelled wonderfully.

2) Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series
Up against: CSI, Deadwood, Grey's Anatomy, Huff, Rescue Me, The West Wing

It's for the pilot episode specifically. We can all remember how tense et al that was, so I'd like to see a win here too...

3) Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series
Up against: Deadwood, 24 (3 noms)

Again for the pilot. Don't know enough about the technical aspects

4) Outstanding Music Composition for a Series
Up against: Carnivale, House, The Simpsons, 24

'24''s music is old hat but 'Carnivale' is quite good. But when I think of the wonderful music used at the end of 'Walkabout', I want 'Lost' to win.

5) Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for Naveen Andrews as 'Sayid' and Terry O'Quinn as 'Locke'
Up against: Boston Legal, Huff, The West Wing

O'Quinn must win. End of debate.

6) The biggy - Outstanding Drama Series
Up against: Deadwood, Six Feet Under, 24, The West Wing

24 has NO place here, with its dreadful 4th season. Deadwood is horribly over-rated. Only 'Six Feet Under' is deserved competition but yawnsome West Wing might win again. Fingers crossed for 'Lost'

7) Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series
Up against: CSI, CSI: Miami, Smallville, 24

Don't know the technicalities here but it deserves to win anyway...

8) Outstanding Single-Camera Sound Mixing for a Series
Up against: CSI, Deadwood, 24, The West Wing

Eh... Lost should win 'coz.. it should..

9) Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series
Up against: Battlestar Galactica, Stargate: Atlantis, Stargate: SG-1

As much as the plane crash looked great, BSG probably deserves this one..

10) Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series (noms: Pilot and Walkabout)
Up against: House, Rescue Me, The Wire

I love 'The Wire' but give it for 'Walkabout'. Now.


Wow TEN nominations. That's excellent. Be very interesting to see how well it does!

It should be '12' of course since it got nominated twice in two categories. 10 category nominations, 12 in total.

For fact fans, 'Everybody Loves Raymond' got 13, 'Desperate Housewives' and 'Will & Grace' got 15, and 'The Life and Death of Peter Sellers' and 'Warm Springs' clocked in 16 with 'Arrested Development', '24', and 'Deadwood' getting slightly less on 11.

And he but in lots of insightful comments.

Well done ixoy!

Did Battlestar Galactica only get the one nomination over all then?

tvnutz

Damn desperate housewives will clean up when scrubs should be getting best comedy.

Well 2 but both for SFX...

"Lost" should clean up this year but was terribly overlooked last year!

Even though i'm a huge "Scrubs" fan, this season has been pretty poor. Not awful but poor! AD deserves it for a quality second season... but Desperate Housewives (..comedy?!..) will probably get it!

super123

It deserves it

tvnutz

nah scrubs was hilarious IMO,i thought AD's 2nd season was far weaker than the first,but still funny

steveland?

Sharon Stone to Join Huff
June 15, 2005
By Anthony Crupi

Sharon Stone will bring her basic instinct to cable TV, signing on as a guest star on season two of Showtime's original series Huff.

The actress will appear in at least two episodes of Huff, which is slated to begin production in the next few weeks. Stone will play a public relations exec who retains lawyer Russell Tupper (Oliver Platt) after an audit reveals that she may have over-billed clients whose political beliefs run counter to her own.

Having been renewed for a 13-episode, second-season run four months before it actually premiered last November, Huff is expected to return to Showtime in 2006.

Although she's perhaps best known for portraying femmes fatale in feature films such as Casino and Basic Instinct, Stone is no stranger to the small screen. The actress won an Emmy for outstanding guest actress in 2004 for her work as unhinged attorney Sheila Carlisle on ABC's The Practice.
