Michael Emerson wins an Emmy!

Michael Emerson, who plays devious Benjamin Linus on LOST, won an Emmy Award last night for best actor in a supporting role in a dramatic series.

According to a wire report, the actor -- who joked that he fears the unemployment that he's facing in about 12 months when the ABC drama series ends -- said he has always enjoyed his scenes with Terry O'Quinn.

"Very often the scenes between Ben and John Locke are dangerous and electrical in a way that delights me. They feel theatrical and I like that," said Emerson, who collected the best supporting actor in a drama Emmy in his third attempt.

Addressing the Jacob story line, Emerson added that he didn't know if Ben really killed him: "I don't know if Jacob is killable; Ben stabbed someone, or it seems like he did. That's what I know."
