Cory’s Dream/Goofy Emmy Ballot: Best Supporting Actress, Drama

Let’s keep it rolling, with yet another ultra-competitve category — Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

Elizabeth Mitchell, LOST

Much like her season five ’ship partner Josh Holloway, much of the credit for LOST’s success this year has to go to Elizabeth Mitchell. Always the “Other Woman,” her Juliet was able to shine a bit more this season, making the Juliet-Sawyer relationship the best the show has ever created. And let us not forget Mitchell’s great one-look reactions to anything having to do with Kate, Jack or destiny. Not many actresses can say so much with just a look. If I had a vote, she’d get it no question.

Who deserves an Emmy nod for Supporting Actor/Actress in a Drama? (Fresh faces encouraged!)
Jul 11, 2009, 01:34 PM | by Michael Slezak

So we took Friday off from building our wish list of nominees in the major Emmy categories, but now it's time to delve into the awards for Best Supporting Actor and Actress (Drama Division). Last year's winners -- Zeljko Ivanek for Damages and Dianne Wiest for In Treatment -- were as surprising as they were satisfying, and hopefully Emmy will follow suit by recognizing more fresh performances in 2009. Here's four folks I'm rooting for:

Elizabeth Mitchell, Lost: The once slightly menacing Juliet became season 5's central romantic figure as she set up house with Sawyer and settled into a groove with the Dharma Initiative. Until, of course, Jack and Kate returned to mess up the dynamic. (Boo!) Is there any actress on television who can convey so much anguish and passion with a single glance? Answer: No! So give the woman her Emmy nod!

Latest from TV GUIDE - JUGHEAD LOCATION

These are pics I took in Hawaii in mid-march right before the S5 finale was being filmed. I figued the stand was for the end of that season and was surprised to see it wasn't used. It must be for S6 sometime- probably a flashback then. Anyways, the interesting thing about the stand was that the hole underneath it where the bomb must have been lowered was covered with a cap in the shape of a dharma logo! How did dharma get a hold of it? I've attached some pics.



DARK UFO

Your Q&A with Titus Welliver made me even more impatient for Lost's return (as if that were possible). Got any other scoop on the final season? — Meg
MATT: It depends on what you make of the following: TVGuide.com editor Adam Bryant just returned from a trip to Hawaii, and during a tour of Lost filming locations, the wooden structure from which Jughead originally dangled was still erect on Oahu. Keeping in mind that Lost is meticulous about putting away their toys after they are done being used, I ask: Why is a set piece from the 1954 storyline still camera-ready? (ABC had no comment.)

Jack Bender - Israel

He didn't talk about Juliet, but the most interesting thing is the last video when he says that the dialog from the Marina (we hear in 5x04, 5x05, 5x11) is written differently for a specific reason.
I think it's not just that dialog that is written differently but also the one on the Island we hear in THIS PLACE IS DEAD and LaFleur.

THIS PLACE IS DEAD:
Juliet: James, stop!James, stop!
Sawyer: Come on, help me.
Juliet: James, we can't help him.

LaFleur:
Juliet: James, don't!
Sawyer: Come on, help me!
Juliet: James, stop!We can't help him.

Maybe also this one is written differently for a reason. ;)

Titus Welliver (Anti-Jacob) about his Role on LOST

Welliver, who now has a recurring role on CBS' The Good Wife (premiering Sept. 22), shared a look inside the far-from-black-and-white nature of his Lost visit.

TVGuide.com: How does it feel to be dropped into the zeitgeist that is Lost?

Titus Welliver: It's pretty insane. It's pretty insane. This is a completely different thing for me. At the street level, it has been crazy. People — from all walks of life — come up and say, "Now, you possessed Locke...?" "Are you in fact Locke?" "Has the character of Locke been created from you, and this was a whole setup to crash the plane?"

TVGuide.com: The funny thing is they can only refer to you as "you," because they didn't give your character a name. By what name did you know him?
Welliver: He has no name. He's just "the man," because they don't want to give anything away. I know that this character has a name and I know the importance of it; that's all that I know.

TVGuide.com: So you don't know his actual name?
Welliver: No — and I think they deliberately withheld that.

TVGuide.com: Were you only given the script pages for your scene?
Welliver: No, I got a whole script. But the thing is, unless you're watching the show weekly, you've no bloody idea what's going on. It's not a show that you can just drop into the middle of. I had watched Lost during the first season, but then life and children sort of prevent one from being able to consistently stay with something.

TVGuide.com: Did the producers give you any notes on what the dynamic should be between you and Mark Pellegrino's Jacob?
Welliver: Liz Sarnoff, one of the writers on the show, is actually an old colleague from a show that we did with David Milch, Big Apple, and from Deadwood. Her explanation was that Jacob sees man as being a flawed creature, but that there is always hope, whereas my character has a much more cynical but in some ways realistic view of man. She said, "Now extrapolate from that what you will. Are they waxing philosophical? Are they gods?" What occurs to me as I watch Locke mention the loophole and pitch Jacob into the fire is, "Clearly this other man on the beach has inhabited Locke on some level" — and it never suspends your belief simply because of how intricate the mysterious nature of the show is. You never say, "Aw, c'mon." I find it interesting that the audience completely buys into what [the writers] put in front of them.

TVGuide.com: Fans have all sorts of theories on the Jacob-Man No. 2 relationship. Some see the obvious parallels with the Bible's Jacob and Esau, but there are also a wealth of Egyptian comparisons...
Welliver: Yeah, the Esau thing seems to dominate the extrapolating conversations. People on the subway say, "Are you Esau?" The interactions are that random.

TVGuide.com: Do you think it's as simple as one of these guys is good and the other evil?
Welliver: The way that I interpreted it, on a biblical level, is that it's a sort of Cain-and-Abel scenario. So by destroying Jacob, what does that prove — that [the man in black] can ultimately have power over the island? Do the castaways become solely his playthings? And why was it so important that he find the loophole to be able to kill Jacob? That moved me in the direction of thinking that if he needs this loophole, there's a greater power than the two of them that they're answering to.

TVGuide.com: Right, someone had to establish that loophole. Some giant, cosmic lawyer.
Welliver: [Laughs] Exactly. What [the producers] said to me was, "No hand-wringing" — and I said, "Certainly not," I didn't want to do the Snidely Whiplash thing — "and understand that this is kind of a chess game," hence the fact that one's in black and one's in white. But are they part of the chess game... or are they the players?

TVGuide.com: It seems like Jacob could have one last ace up his sleeve, as evidenced by him saying before dying, "They're coming." He may have put one final countermeasure in place.
Welliver: Oh, yeah. Somebody asked me about that — "Is your character going to just take over?" — and of course I don't have the answer. But as a viewer I think, "It can't be that easy to get rid of Jacob."

Elizabeth could be available for LOST

Lost:

Filming for V will be done by January 14, 2010, which could mean that Elizabeth Mitchell is available to return to Lost by mid-January. So does that mean a Juliet comeback towards the end of the show? [Spoilers Lost]

So all that stuff about how the new season will feel more like season one? It's beginning to sound like there will be "a circularity" to the show's storyline, as producers Cuse and Lindelof put it. Also, the smoke monster will become "an interesting character in and of itself." The ending will be bittersweet and "fair," and will not make all of the fans happy. [Broadcast via Zap2It]

About the Emmy

FANFORUM

Thanks Stef!

Hey, Emmy Voters: We'Ve Got the Picks for Best TV Right Here: It's Excruciating to Choose the Emmy Nominees, so We Offer Some Tips for Clueless Voters.

[...]
Lead actress, drama

Will be nominated: Who's the lead actress on Lost? According to awards expert Tom O'Neil's Gold Derby blog, Evangeline Lilly (Kate) is a front-runner, but didn't Elizabeth Mitchell have the stronger plotline as (probably) doomed Juliet? Yet Mitchell isn't listed among the possibilities in this category, even though she was arguably the show's female lead this season. Lay odds on actresses who are clear leads on their shows and have been nominated before: Glenn Close (Damages), Holly Hunter (Saving Grace), Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer). I'd expect Sally Field, the best thing about Brothers & Sisters, to get another nomination, and past nominees such as Law & Order: Special Victims Unit's Mariska Hargitay and Medium's Patricia Arquette (both previous winners) to fill out the fifth and sixth slots.

Best drama series

Will be nominated: AMC's '60s ad-man drama Mad Men, which won last year, seems like a lock again, using TV critics' year-end top 10 lists as a guideline. Ditto AMC's other drama, Breaking Bad, which had a knockout second season (the first or second episode alone could wipe most other shows off the map). Lost, which had one of its best (and most confounding) seasons, should have enough momentum to find a slot. The Emmys tend to favor previous nominees, so expect House to slide in here (over other previous nominees Damages and Dexter, which have lost momentum). Also expect ER and Boston Legal to score slots -- partly because they're traditional network dramas, and partly because they had terrific final seasons. [...]
