Here’s some good news for Lost fans. First let’s talk Emmy eligibility. This week The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Board of Governors made an exception to a long-standing rule involving the length of an episode and Emmy consideration. So we all know that the Lost finale episode will run for two-and-a-half hours. Normally for an extended episode to be considered for Emmy eligibility it cannot run for longer than two hours. Thanks to the Board’s decision “The End” can be a potential contender for a number of Emmy awards such as Best Actor/Actress and Best Drama. John Leverence, senior VP of awards: “We have a soft spot in our hearts for the final episodes of long-running series.” The same exception made for Lost was also granted to The Wire and The Sopranos.
Next up there’s news about what will be included with the Lost Season 6 DVD package. Exec producers Darlton plan on including about twenty minutes of “new content that addresses some of the unanswered questions in an entertaining way.” According to an inside source “Damon and Carlton wanted to offer fans answers to additional questions they couldn’t get to in the body of the final show.” These bonus features will be included in the stand-alone DVD package and in the DVD/Blu-Ray Seasons 1-6 mega box sets.
