Went to the Emmys

So I got to go to the Emmys last weekend.
It was fun.
Here I took a picture of myself on the red carpet in the shadow of the giant Emmy statue.
This is what it looked like inside the Governor's Ball.
The colors reminded of the "It's a Small World" ride.
Suddenly I found myself alone with Michael's Emmy.
But just as I made my move Burky appeared out of the darkness.

Also... and I'm not sure how this happened.
But over the course of the evening I lost all three buttons on my jacket.
See here's me at the beginning on the red carpet.
Clearly there are buttons.

And here is me riding back to the hotel and not a single button on the jacket anymore.
Mysterious.

    congratulations to michael emerson for his win :)

    i can't believe this is going to be the last season. if you don't win something next year, there's obviously some sort of conspiracy afoot.

    Buttons are over-rated. That's why I wear a zippered tux to all the award shows.

    Sorry 'bout that. But it turns out one celebrity tuxedo button can go for as much as $5 American dollars on Ebay. And now I own season 1 of Lost from Half.com.

    I watched the Emmy's for the first time in years. I was excited that Michael Emerson won. I am a huge LOST fan.

    My daughter, Maria, was on set the last couple of days. She was one of the "Others Child" She had a blast. So many memories and stories she now has!

    Nice pics Jorge, and I hope you get an Emmy next year. Something tells me you're going to get a chance to do some great work this season. I think you did a great job in the scene where you had to mourn Charlie in Season 4, shoulda got an Emmy for that. The last pic looks like you may have had a few, way to party it up dude. And you even lost your buttons! LOL!

    So handsome! You and Emmy are meant to be. We were happy to see you but we thought that red carpet lady was kinda rude to you and Yunjin.

    Also- can't they think of anything to ask you besides "What's going to happen?"

  38. MareSeptember 25, 2009 at 1:28 PM

    You looked very handsome at the Emmy's. I saw you with Carrie Ann on the t.v. guide interview. That was ridiculously rushed and I must say I was a little bummed that she didn't give you more time. The buttons were on then but where was Beth?!

    LOST better win best drama next year!!!!!

    Thanks for keeping us in the loop. I'm not trying to be lame or anything, but you really are a fan-fueled actor. You recognize the people that admire your work and invite them in to enjoy the little things (and the big Emmy things) of your life. So thanks, sorry if this is a bit deep, but thanks. You're pretty great.

    AH. So that's where you have been. Partying in LA. With all those LA people.
    We missed you, the island missed you. Welcome back....

    And tell Michael... congrats on his win. Like he said, he got the role of a lifetime. And so did you I think.

    Enjoy the islands for the rest of the time you are here. ALoha.

    I can't believe you took a picture of yourself in the shadow of the statue. Most actors I've read about seem to shy away from their characters in real life and keep the two worlds seperate, but you seem to embrace your characters as much as we fans do. That, to me, makes you one of the coolest dudes in the business.
