Big Emmy Wins for "Lost"

Congrats to J.J. Abrams for winning the Emmy for Outstanding Directing For A Drama Series for the effects and suspense-laden, feature film-like pilot episode of ABC's "Lost." And congrats to the crew and cast of the show for nabbing the top Drama Series Emmy.

These 2 awards plus the 4 Creative Arts Emmys from last week make for a total of 6 Emmy awards (out of 12 noms) for "Lost" in its maiden year. The show tied sister ABC show "Desperate Housewives" in the number of total awards. Both were beat only by one show, HBO's "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers," which won 9 awards.
