Best character
First place
Benjamin Linus
Benjamin "Ben" Linus was the leader of a group of island natives called the Others, and was the main antagonist during seasons 2 and 3, but in subsequent seasons, became more of an uneasy ally and anti-hero. He organizes the capture of some of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815, which crashes on the Island on September 22, 2004 so that he can convince Jack Shephard, a doctor from the plane crash, to operate on him. Later, he allows another survivor, John Locke , to join the Others and eventually replace him as leader when Ben is transported away from the island after an attempt to prevent it being discovered by his arch-enemy Charles Widmore, but later returns to the island by plane with the help of Eloise Hawking. As with most characters on Lost, Ben's history is revealed through flashbacks and episodes set in other time periods which are revealed slowly as the series progresses.
Best lead actor
First place
Michael Emerson
In 2006, Michael took the role of the enigmatic Henry Gale, a character who lied to the survivors. The character's name was later revealed to be Benjamin Linus. Michael received much critical praise for his role as Linus, being called "a genius in [the] role" by Entertainment Weekly. For his role as Linus, Michael was nominated for an Outstanding Supporting Actor Emmy in 2007 (which he lost to fellow Lost actor Terry O'Quinn), 2008, and 2009 (which he won). Michael was also the narrator in the clipshows "Lost: A Tale of Survival", "Lost: Past, Present and Future" and "Lost: A Journey in Time".
Second place
Terry O'Quinn
After a string of recurring appearances on Alias (2002–2003), as the FBI Director Kendall, Terry became a favorite of television producer J.J. Abrams. Following a seven-episode guest run on The West Wing in 2003–2004, Terry received a call from Abrams indicating that the producer wanted to cast him in his new television drama Lost without any audition. In 2005 and 2007, Terry received an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama for his work as John Locke on Lost. Terry admitted on the TV Guide Channel that he did not have much faith in the series Lost at first, calling it "The Mysterious Gilligan's Island of Dr. Moreau". The show, however, became one of the most popular on television, and on September 16, 2007, he won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series for his role in Lost. In a Tv.com interview Terry commented that the reason he felt comfortable playing this character is because he's a bit like him.
Best lead actress
First place
Elizabeth Mitchell
In March 2009, Entertainment Weekly reported that Elizabeth had been cast in new ABC pilot for V, its remake of the classic science fiction television miniseries. Although ABC and Warner Bros. officials told the magazine she was only cast as a guest star, the announcement led to speculation and concern that Elizabeth's character would be killed off at the end of Lost's fifth season, which ended on a cliffhanger that left the fate of her character unknown. Elizabeth was later named the lead actress on V in an ABC press release and various sources reported that she will guest-star in Lost's sixth, final season.
Second place
Yunjin Kim
Yunjin was brought back to her native land South Korea for roles in the drama series A Gorgeous Vacation, and stayed to continue acting in Asia (in miniseries, Foreboding and Wedding Dress, as well as movies such as Shiri and Milae). She was already a bankable star with Asian fans before she crossed the Pacific again to audition for Lost. She originally auditioned for the role of Kate, but the producers were so impressed with her performance that the roles of Sun and Jin were created.
Best supporting actor
First place
Nestor Carbonell
Nestor played Richard Alpert for seven episodes in the third season of Lost, and the mysteries surrounding his ageless character were heavily discussed among the fan community. Nestor made appearances in the episodes "Cabin Fever" and "There's No Place Like Home". Executive producer Carlton Cuse cited this as an unintended positive consequence of the strike. Nestor appeared in nine episodes of Lost's fifth season. He was announced as part of the main cast of Lost for Season 6.
Second place
Alan Dale
Alan appeared in the second season finale "Live Together, Die Alone" of Lost, as Charles Widmore, a part which has since become a recurring role. Alan's publicist was initially worried that Widmore would become a starring role, meaning it would be hard for Alan to appear in both Lost and Ugly Betty at the same time. As of season 5, Widmore has only ever appeared as a guest star.
Best supporting actress

Sonya Walger
Sonya was originally offered the role of Kate for the pilot, but refused to move to Hawaii, since then, she maintained contact with the Producers who offered her several roles, finally agreeing to play Penelope at the end of Season 2.
Second place
L. Scott Caldwell
Laverne Scott currently appears on Lost in a recurring capacity. She had extensive screentime in the series' pilot but was one of two actors who did not become regulars on the show. According to the Season 2 DVD featurettes, her husband was going through health problems during the shooting of the first season; this likely factored into her absence during this time. Her husband's story inspired her character's flashbacks in her focus episode, "S.O.S.".
Best writer
First place
Damon Lindelof
After creating the characters, the overall storyline, and the first two episodes of Lost along with J.J. Abrams, Lindelof has taken over as the head writer of the show, since Abrams has numerous other projects on his plate. Damon's previous experience includes being the writer of episodes of MTV's Undressed, Nash Bridges, Wasteland and Crossing Jordan and Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk (2006), a comic book miniseries; his first television writing job was with Wasteland. He is a graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Lindelof is an avid Star Wars fan, as is Abrams.

In the Lost universe, the season takes place from November 28 to December 21, 2004. The producers have stated that as the first season is about introducing the survivors and the second season is about the hatch, the third season is about the Others, a group of mysterious island inhabitants.
Best romantic couple
First place
Sawyer & Juliet
Sawyer and Juliet were in a serious relationship. Juliet initially had decided to leave the island on the sub ride offered by The Dharma Initiative. Sawyer coaxed her into waiting with him for two weeks for Locke to return. By the three-year mark, they are living together, happily, as a couple and as members of the Dharma Initiative. During the Incident, Juliet's life is threatened when she's pulled into the Swan's electromagnetic chute via metal chains that have wrapped around her body. Sawyer clings onto her hand, repeatedly beseeching her to not "let go". When Juliet sees that the structure above him will collapse on top of him due to the magnetic pull, she decides that she must let go to save him. She tells him she loves him before letting go of his hand. Sawyer is beyond devastated, sobbing at his loss.
Second place
Rose & Bernard
Rose and Bernard meet when Rose's car gets stuck in the snow and Bernard offers to help push it out. Afterwards, Rose asks Bernard out for coffee. The two begin dating and on one date while visiting the Niagara Falls, Bernard proposes to her. Rose hesitates to say yes, telling Bernard that she is dying of cancer. Bernard decides that he is not afraid of her illness and tells her still wants to marry her. On their honeymoon trip he takes her to Australia to see Isaac of Uluru, a faith healer, hoping that he will cure her cancer. Rose gets upset with Bernard, but goes in to see Isaac. Even after Isaac tells her that he cannot cure her, Rose pretends to Bernard that the healer has succeeded just so that Bernard will be at peace with the situation in order to enjoy the rest of their time together.
Third place
Desmond & Penny
Once the Oceanic Six are rescued, Desmond and Penny are reunited and decide to sail around the world. Penny is wearing a wedding band on her finger, implying that the two got married. This was later confirmed when Desmond was referred to as Penny's husband. They also have a son, named Charlie.
Best plot twist
First place
Locke in Illana's crate
The Ajira group arrives outside the statue, and Illana asks for "Ricardus." Richard corrects her by saying, "It's Richard, actually." Ilana asks, "What lies in the shadow of the statue?" Richard replies in Latin, "Ille qui nos omnes servabit" ("He who will protect/save us all"). Ilana reveals the contents of the crate: John Locke's dead body, which Ilana's crew found in the cargo hold of Ajira 316. Sun looks at Locke's body and then toward the statue, and asks, "If that's Locke, then who is in there?"
Second place
Henry Gale is the leader of the Others
The rescue party is brought by the Others, with Alex present, to a pier with the label "Pala Ferry". Kate is gagged and her hands and bare feet are tied up tightly when she tells Tom that she knows his beard is fake. He could hear nothing more than mumbles because of the gag Ms. Klugh inadvertently reveals his name as "Tom", and Tom reveals her name as "Bea". The false Henry Gale soon arrives in the boat and is revealed to be an authority figure amongst the Others.

Ben and Widmore in London
Late at night in London, Ben emerges from a taxi and enters a building. He tricks the doorman, claiming to be heading to visit a Mr. and Mrs. Kendrick in apartment 4E, but instead picks the elevator lock to enter the penthouse suite. The penthouse belongs to Charles Widmore. Ben makes his way into his bedroom and Charles wakes up. Ben inquires as to when Widmore started sleeping with a bottle of scotch by the bed. Widmore replies, "When the nightmares started." Charles asks Ben if he has come to kill him. Ben says "we both know I can't do that." He instead accuses Widmore of changing the rules and killing his daughter. The two argue about who bears responsibility for Alex's death. The debate concludes with Ben vowing to kill Widmore's daughter, Penelope, so that he will know the same pain Ben knows. Widmore claims to know "what" Ben is, saying everything Ben has he took from Widmore. Ben says Charles will wish he hadn't "changed the rules." Widmore counters that Ben will never find Penny, and that he wants "his" Island back. Ben tells Charles he will never find the Island. Charles then says that the hunt is on for both of them.
Second place
Ben moves the Island
Ben finds himself inside a dark and icy room, where stones are covered in hieroglyphs. There, across from Ben, is a wall with a large wheel. After looking up and declaring, "I hope you're happy now, Jacob," Ben proceeds to turn the wheel, though with great physical and emotional difficulty. The more the wheel is turned, the brighter the room becomes. Outside, the entire Island emanates an otherworldly noise and the sky turns purple. Suddenly, a light envelops the Island and everything within the light disappears.

John Locke
A month after he visited Jack, Locke entered his hotel room at the Westerfield Hotel with a bag containing a new extension cord. Having failed to convince any of the Oceanic Six that he visited to return to the Island, Locke intended to commit suicide. He wrote a final note to Jack, hoping that if he could convince him, then all the others would follow Jack to the Island. Locke then tied the extension cord around the base of the radiator in his room and looped it through a rafter and around his neck. Just as he was preparing to step off the table supporting him, Ben entered the room and convinced Locke not to kill himself, exclaiming that he had no idea how important he was. Ben revealed, confirming Locke's suspicions, that he had killed Abaddon -- Ben claiming that he was doing so to protect him. Ben was able to finally convince Locke to save himself when he told him Jack bought a plane ticket to Sydney -- that he was not a failure. With new hope, Locke told Ben about Eloise Hawking. Upon hearing this name mentioned, Ben abruptly strangled Locke to death with the extension cord. Locke's last words were "Do you know her?"
Second place
Charlie Pace
When Charlie tells Penny about Naomi, and asked if she was on the freighter, Penny stated, "I'm not on a boat. Who's Naomi?" He started to yell for Desmond, but saw Mikhail, still alive, outside the window of The Looking Glass with a grenade. As Charlie heard Desmond running to talk to Penny, Charlie shut the communication room's hatch, locking himself in and Desmond out. In doing so, he sealed the room, thus saving Desmond from the explosion and preventing the whole station from flooding. While Desmond looked into the room, Charlie wrote "Not Penny's Boat" on his hand, and showed it to Desmond. Charlie's last act was to make the sign of the cross before he drowned, fulfilling Desmond's vision.

Benjamin Linus - LOST
Originally cast for three guest appearances in the second season, Michael's role was expanded to the leader of the Others and he became a regular cast member from the third season onward. Ben's perfected ability to lie and manipulate has led to speculation of his true motives. Michael's portrayal of Ben has garnered many positive reviews and resulted in a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor - Drama Series in 2007, 2008 and 2009, winning in 2009.

Terry O'Quinn
After a string of recurring appearances on Alias (2002–2003), as the FBI Director Kendall, Terry became a favorite of television producer J.J. Abrams. Following a seven-episode guest run on The West Wing in 2003–2004, Terry received a call from Abrams indicating that the producer wanted to cast him in his new television drama Lost without any audition. In 2005 and 2007, Terry received an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama for his work as John Locke on Lost. Terry admitted on the TV Guide Channel that he did not have much faith in the series Lost at first, calling it "The Mysterious Gilligan's Island of Dr. Moreau". The show, however, became one of the most popular on television, and on September 16, 2007, he won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series for his role in Lost. In a Tv.com interview Terry commented that the reason he felt comfortable playing this character is because he's a bit like him.
Thanks so much to all you guys who nominated/voted! This was really fun to organize, I hope we do it again! ;D ;D ;D
