Lost has had an interesting run when it comes to the Primetime Emmy Awards. We started strong in 2005 with 12 nominations. We won six Emmy's, including the biggie, Outstanding Drama Series.

But then things went downhill in 2006 when we weren't even nominated for the Outstanding Drama Series category and of the eight categories we were nominated in, we didn't take home a single Emmy.

Things began to look up in 2007, though still no Outstanding Drama Series nomination. We were nominated for six Emmy's with Terry O'Quinn (Locke) winning for the Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series.

Then 2008 brought us eight nominations, including the coveted Outstanding Drama Series and a win for Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series.

In 2009 we were nominated six times, including Outstanding Drama Series, and Michael Emerson won for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series.
