After winning for its first season, “Lost” had failed to come up with the big trophy since. Its sixth and final season was not universally loved, but some felt that, like “The Sopranos” several years ago, the ABC sci-fi drama would be in serious contention to win the award as a parting gift from the Academy.

That was not the case, and critical darling “Mad Men” won yet again. Other nominees included fellow AMC series “Breaking Bad,” CBS’ “The Good Wife,” Showtime’s “Dexter” and HBO’s “True Blood.”

  1. LOST deserved to win the Emmy. What is wrong with Hollywood? Clearly Lost was the fan favorite, had an awesome season, was groundbreaking television, and actually gave meaning to people’s lives who watched it as was not just mindless entertainment. Emmy voteres, you blew it. And Matthew Fox should have been honored as well.
