The Emmy Awards slighted SF&F TV again in ceremonies broadcast live on Fox on Sept. 16, with Lost's Terry O'Quinn winning the only major prime-time award, for best supporting actor. O'Quinn won the Emmy for his portrayal of the conflicted John Locke on the ABC SF show.

"Sometimes when we're rolling around in the jungle in the mud, hitting each other and stabbing each other, I wonder what it would be like to bake up a sheet of cookies on Wisteria Lane and get one of their checks," O'Quinn said in accepting his award, referring to ABC's Desperate Housewives, according to a report by the Associated Press.

"Then I think about my castmates and crewmates, and I realize why I have the best job in the world," O'Quinn added. Lost returns in midseason.
O'Quinn's was up against his Lost co-star Michael Emerson, Grey's Anatomy's T.R. Knight, Masi Oka from Heroes and Michael Imperioli from The Sopranos. Other than O'Quinn's well-deserved win for Best Suporting Actor in a Drama, Lost was otherwise pretty much ignored at the Emmys.
