Emmy Awards
In 2005, Lost was nominated for twelve Primetime Emmy Awards and won six, including "Outstanding Directing For A Drama Series" for series co-creator J.J. Abrams and four Emmys for the pilot episode. The show also won "Outstanding Drama Series", which was considered a surprise win because the Emmys had rarely recognized science fiction or fantasy shows in the category. The following year, the series was nominated for nine Emmys but failed to win any. Despite winning for "Outstanding Drama Series" the previous year, Lost was not nominated in the category in 2006. This was referenced in host Conan O'Brien's opening segment for the 2006 Emmy Awards where he lands on a beach and discovers Jorge Garcia. O'Brien jumps into a hatch and invites Garcia to come along to the ceremony, but Garcia says "we weren't exactly invited," to which O'Brien responds: "but you won last year, nothing makes sense anymore!" In 2007, Lost was nominated for six Emmys but again failed to gain a nomination for "Outstanding Drama Series". Terry O'Quinn became the first Lost actor to win an Emmy Award, picking up a trophy for "Outstanding Supporting Actor – Drama Series" for his performance as John Locke in "The Man from Tallahassee". In 2008 the show gained eight Emmy Award nominations, of which six were Creative Arts Emmys, and won the award for Sound Mixing. In 2009, Lost received six nominations and won two. Michael Emerson became the second actor from Lost to win the award for "Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series". The website DharmaWantsYou.com won a special award for "Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media - Fiction". In 2010, the final season of Lost received thirteen nominations, including a fourth "Outstanding Drama Series" nomination, which it lost to Mad Men as in the two previous years. The show won one award for Editing for the final episode.
