Personal opinion: best actor from Lost...

Jacob sent him to that gala, and the island wanted him to win that Emmy.

Well fucking deserved.

I love that kind of speech... no stupid words, no stupid jokes, simply to thank and it's done

I still believe that he is Ben Linus pretending to be Micheal Emerson 😂

Not one single um or uh in his speech. Respect.

"You just took an award away from everyone else nominated for it!" "...So?"

he's so classy.

The second that Michael Emerson uttered the words "My name is Henry Gale. I'm from Minnesota." I fell in love with him :') What a fantastic character and a wonderful actor!

Bad ass speech from a bad ass actor playing a bad ass character on a bad ass show

I think Michael Emerson should have played Willy Wonka in the re-make. He would have been perfect.

One thing I love about Michael Emerson is that while he is not what most people would consider conventionally handsome (though I find him attractive in his own unique way), he makes up for it by being very charmimg, classy and sophisticated. He is always clean-cut and well dressed, comes across as well-spoken and highly intelligent, and he has terrific manners. It angers me when people call him ugly because he's such a gentleman and that's much more important.

he looks incredibly humble. kudos to him

Oh my God. How to kill an award speech in only 40 seconds. Flawless. Emerson is fantastic.

I still don't understand why Lost is still hated. It's really rare when tv show still wins emmy after five seasons. Lost was a great show one of the best of american tv show of all time. Everybody is excited today by game of thrones but it's all from a book. Lost was created from point A to Z...and even now since season 5 that GoT is "free" from the books, GoT is less good. Michael Emerson was a great villain in this show with many layers. Benjamin Linus is one of the most iconic villains of tv shows with Tony Soprano or Walter White.

He speaks with so much conviction and clarity, while commanding the attention of the room. Benjamin Linus is truly the role of a lifetime.

How much more humble can a man be....! Seems like a genuinely nice guy

great actor!!. Actually, lost had the biggest actors out there

my most favorite actor in Lost!!

He's good on Person of Interest (heck, he's good in anything really), but to me he'll always be Ben Linus, the most twisted character on a show full of them. This was a great speech too, as if we could expect anything else from Michael Emerson.

WE LOVE YOU FINCH ! :D

This wonderfull actor has STYLE!

He's so humble and calm. Love this man!

What a great actor and super sweet man! I love this guy! 😃

He is one of the most talented character actor, for sure! Especially when you consider how truly normal and sweet he is in his "real" life. I like the guy!

My favorite characters on the show were Richard, Ben, and Locke

I knew Michael Emerson in the 80's in Jacksonville - that man earned his fame as much as did the Beatles in the Cavern. Best wishes Michael! (Diane, your Hamlet groupie).

I just love him and admire him... What a magnificent actor!

"one day I flew to Huwai to do a guest part and four years later it become the role of my lifetime"

Benjamin Linus 🥺❤my personal most favorite character in lost series

His wife is actually his mother in the show xD

beautiful speech

So gracious, articulate, humble. And beautiful to see his wife beaming so much! Well deserved.

Well, that would be my first comment about an actor ever..Michael, thank you so much for your incredibly breathtaking performance!!! You are one of the most briiliant actors ever!!!

He deserved that so much! I love how terrified he looks when he stands up ; he almost looks to the camera as if to say "Holy crap, I'm gonna crap myself". Bless. :-)

Short, classy, and sincere. Gotta love it.

Michael Emerson = GOAT

he sounds like harold with the same vocabulary and everything its amazing

One of a kind

So many years passed, but Ben, masterfully impersonating Michael Emerson, still looks dangerous.

Congrats to Michael's wife, Carrie Preston (who can be seen at 0:33 and 1:20), for winning an Emmy of her own for her guest work on The Good Wife this season!!!

I'm so happy for Emerson! What a well deserved honor. He's the best thing that ever happened to LOST.

classy speech

How did Michael Emerson NOT win every year that he was on Lost. For that matter how has he not been nominated for Person Of Interest. He is (IMO) the best actor on televison.

absolutely mad that ben linus was just supposed to be a guest star. He became the first cog in the gigantic wheel that was lost, influencing nearly every characters fate in one way or another

I love Michael emerson. Hes a such a great actor, from my favourite Show lost.

Congratulations Michael! I was so geeked when I heard that he had won, he really is the best character, not only on the show, but on television period. He was right, he's living a character actor's dream, and it's his talent that's maknig it a reality.

Michael Emerson is an incredible speaker. He deserves to win! :-) I disliked ben when he entered the show but as I watched him perform, my opinion had changed.

I don't know what I love more, the look on his face or the love on Carrie's face when she is looking at him.

my all time favourite awards speech, so articulate and humble.

i love how calm and soft his voice is

Michael so deserves that Emmy! He's a wonderful actor - His Ben Linus is so dark, and then when one see, Michael in an interview and he's so funny and smiling all the time. I'm very happy for him.

classy, gentle and spectacular speech.

Two personal favourite TV characters: Benjamin Linus & Harold Finch.

And eventually he'll win another for Person of Interest.

Just watched Lost again….binged in a week from beginning to the end…boy how much I missed so many details as we waited a week at a time during the original run…now that all episodes are available and we can watch them back to back…Lost is one of the greatest show of all time….if anyone loved this show at one time, I strongly suggest to watch it again in its entirety…now more than a decade later, I truly appreciate how original and interesting this show truly was…and how well it aged to stand in time even in 2022….I am so glad that I decided to watch Lost again…can’t say the same about GOT

I know him, he is Henry Gale. I'm happy he wins an emmy

Que actor mas impresionante, es espectacular. No puedo creer que haya ganado solo 1 premio lo largo de sus años en Lost, merecio mucho mas

Wow! This dude was never acting on Lost, that was just him :-). What an iconic character!

He's a hell of an actor, DESERVED!

Long time coming! Congratulations, Michael! How strange it is, you never know at any given moment whether to love or hate Benjamin Linus. What an amazing character both he and the creators made.

he showed a stunning performance as Ben. i'm looking forward to seeing more of him in other movies and shows.

That was so heartfelt. What a classy guy!

Thanks for this, LOVE Michael Emerson, awesome actor. Makes Ben Linus one of best characters on tv ever.

He won for Season 5 of Lost. And Terry O'Quinn/John Lock won for season 3. Two of the best actors from the (kinda forgotten) masterpice-series "Lost".

I don't care how old or short he is, I would SO do him.

Amazing actor

one of the best actors out there !

Congratulations Finch!

I'm so happy he won! He is a fantastic actor and LOST fans were blessed to have him join the show.

MICHAEL EMERSON = GENIUS

agree! he was the best actor in the Show..

What a fantastic actor and his presence on POI was so damn good too 💯💯

Jigsaw should've announced him as the winner!

So articulate, level-headed, and sincere. Wow. Skillz!

Well it was about time! He is amazing in that role!

This is so weird! I'm watching Lost now and I was thinking to myself, 'Man that Ben guy is really doing such a good performance...but it feels like a performance everyone will praise him for but won't earn him any recognition...never realized he won an award! Definitely well earned... THE ISLAND DEMANDS IT

Wow what a soothing voice *o*

Michael Emerson, I congratulate you. for me there is no greater actor than you and y our Ben Linus character. You ARE a winner Sincerely, LOSTeph I LOVE the Ben Linus character, my favorite

Jacob had his blessing before returning to the island 😁

Michael is brilliant. I am so happy that he finally is recognized for his amazing work.

Poor thing, he's lost walking at the end! So humble in his acceptance speech.

yaaaaaaaaaaay!!! i love how calm he is!!& i love LOST!:D

I was so happy he won! I love Michael, such a great actor on Lost. Cant wait for the season to start up!

well it's about time! congratulations, michael. that was a lovely speech. :)

He is the most adorable man alive >

I really like his acting. Easily one of the best in Lost.

actually he speaks, moves and act the same way that when he is acting. nice.

Benjamin Linus😍😍😍

So deserved! Yes, finally he's got it. I'm so happy for him and his wife!

Happy birthday at michael emerson from italian girl live in rome and i m fan of lost

he's so GREAT! he deserves everything he gets! love him

He would be the coolest grandpa or dad ever. I just wanna find him and hug him.

He should've snatched the award greedily and growled, "You're mine!"

So very, very deserved! Congrats, Michael! It's so sad to think we only have one left season of Ben and Lost...

what an amazing actor, him and Terry O'Quinn deserve every award they've been nominated for, their scenes are incredible

Notice the drunken Gabriel Byrne wandering around the aisle when Michael gets up and then sits down in Michael's seat next to his wife lmao

Based on the recent episode, Dr Linus, he deserves another one this year. Michael Emerson is an absolutely boon (no Lost pun intended) to the show. In spite of everything Ben Linus has done, I still can't help but root for him and hope things come good for him in the end. He deserves another Emmy this year.

Well deserved. Well deserved.

I can tell he is really happy
