Terry O'Quinn Wins Emmy

Kudos to Terry O'Quinn, who last night took home an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his work on Lost's third season. Though I admit my vote would have gone to fellow cast-mate Michael Emerson (who gets a great acknowledgement by O'Quinn), O'Quinn's work as John Locke this year was fantastic. As maddening and frustrating as the character may be at times, the performances that captured this award, from confronting his murderous father, to getting Sawyer to do his dirtywork, to meeting Jacob, and to being rescued from his own suicide by a vision of Walt were fantastic.

So rather than lament the fact that Elizabeth Mitchell was robbed of a nomination for Best Supporting Actress by no fewer than three characters from Grey's Anatomy's disappointing third season, or that the brilliantly-executed finale, "Through the Looking Glass," was denied its rightful awards for writing and editing, join me in congratulating Terry O'Quinn on this achievement.
