spicedogs | Michael Emerson at the Emmys

Some people in my forum expressed that Michael Emerson seemed a bit upset at the Emmys. Perhaps he felt that the Emmy should have been his. Far from it! Here's a good possibility for Michael's misty eyes.

Terry hears that his name is called as the winner. Carrie Preston is overjoyed. Lori O'Quinn kisses her man.

Michael is happy as anything for his friend Terry. Look at Michael's smile.

Terry gets up to get his award and make his speech.

Michael is smiling. He does not look upset.

"...then I think about my cast- and crewmates, represented here by the great and glorious, Mr. Michael Emerson and …" (Michael is listening to the speech. It hasn't hit him yet that Terry is actually praising him.)

Terry's words just hit him. He is proud and choked up by the admiration just bestowed on him.

He smiles back at Terry.

He is basking on the applause that is given to him, thanks to Terry.

No, the man was not upset. He was choked up. Terry O'Quinn, you just went up a number of notches in my book.

My thanks to LOST-media.com for making these great hi-def captures. Without them, we would not be able to see how happy Michael Emerson was for Terry winning the Emmy.
