Terry O'Quinn's 2007 Emmy Award Acceptance Speech

[@smark7]

He should have said: "I won because I was supposed to!"

[@isnowyazn]

SMARF Reading this in Locke's voice atm.

[@tomada36]

Michael Emerson's potential Emmy was the sacrifice that the island wanted

[@23igna]

LOL

[@neomzn1174]

Because this is a destiny

[@lucid.6610]

😂

[@AnneliesTheComposer]

Don't tell him what he can't do.

[@apaixonadosporgames2982]

AnneliesTheComposer you right but I dont need your Help

[@taylorhauntus]

HE WON BECAUSE IT WAS HIS FATE.

[@303_tunes]

I am here because the Island told me

[@cassieluv7869]

trance24xx7 😁😁😂😂

[@erawa2740]

Jacob sent me.

[@greyeyed123]

Do you think this was a coincidence? He won this award for a REASON!

[@Skanalll]

he deserved it. he's a great actor

[@williambrackin]

Crazy looking back at old acceptance speeches and I find most are very brief, with a small anecdote about acting, shouting out family, and praise to fellow nominees. It feels like a totally different atmosphere now! And by the way, Terry O’Quinn rocks!

[@DipikaDesaboyina]

Michael Emerson has the face of an angel.

[@leadcharisma]

What a perfect acceptance speech. Genuine, humble, appropriately humorous, concise. Love me some Terry O'quinn.

[@blankblank2370]

Don't tell him he can't win!

[@rozio9287]

So that's why Ben killed Locke! He was jealous of the award😂

[@sat.chid.ananda]

Well, yeah, i'd say Ben's smile is a "i'm gonna kill you" smile

[@aweqeaaw]

It's my destiny!!

[@CallMeDerpDrew]

Would have been great if he'd ended with "To anyone who might have doubted me, don't tell me what I can't do!" He's too classy and humble to say something like that, though. XD

[@emmanuelx4586]

Terry O' Quinn and Michael Emerson both deserved the Emmy for their roles in Lost. I just wish more recognition would have been given to the talented women on Lost. Especially both Elizabeth Mitchell and Yunjin Kim. They should of both been at least nominated.

[@wolverineiscool7161]

meh

[@seeemsee]

Of course. After all, the show wouldn't have been the same without Kiele Sanche and L. Scott Caldwell.

[@dantegreenmountain]

elizabeth mitchell got nominated for the 6th season

[@bill000]

@@seeemsee LOL I love Kiele but the show would be the same without her

[@Romans8-9]

YunJin never had a big enough role. Evangeline Lilly not getting a nom is a bigger joke imo, she was a great actress over the course of the series.

[@AgentSapien2]

Love Michael and Terry's friendship. Of all the actors he points out to Michael and tells how it is great to play the series with him. Amazing -Beautiful!

[@DarknessIsThePath]

It's annoying how the stupid audience claps loud on everyone except the 2 from LOST who are far better actors than the other ones.

[@jonathangeorge3835]

It's all about popularity, man. And I have to disagree, both Emerson and O'Quinn got loud applause and cheers when their names were called. Lost was a really popular show back then, and it still is.

[@ronnig4009]

I kind of see what you mean. They DO scream over that Soprano's dude, don't they? But that is not what people are honored for, it is for contributing to art on a tv series, and their peers decide, not the folks who clap and scream for them.

[@swimsanta3132]

@@ronnig4009 i mean, sopranos is usually considered an even better series than lost, emperioli deserved it as much as any of them

[@23igna]

@@jonathangeorge3835 But he's right. Lost is underrated compared to other shows that get way more recognition when Lost is an absolute master piece.

[@xomoni101]

He's literally perfect, best actor ever

[@discoking1008]

cant agree more

[@neomzn1174]

He won because this is his destiny

[@bobsmith5334]

Great actor!

[@TRNMittens]

One Of My Favorite Actors. So Happy He Got What He Deserves. :D

[@oneprizeonegoal]

Someone once told him he can't win an emmy. The rest is history

[@Travarianb]

He was my favorite character from Lost hands down... he played his character perfectly.

[@yvesidalso]

john locke honestly changed my life

[@MissKenapy]

Terry and Michael were the best actors of the show :)

[@giordanotirelli6028]

Happy birthday terry for your wonderful 70 years and bring to an infinity to happiness and serenity from italian boy live in rome and I m fan of lost

[@g2nelson15]

Sawyer be like That Son of a Bitch just won!

[@isnowyazn]

He should've said, "I'm here because I'm supposed to be here!"

[@Hndonh]

He won the emmy because it was his destiny

[@bobandrayfan1]

I am here because he's a great guy. and a helluva an actor.

[@citruuus]

Michael Emerson's smile at 2:39 truly is priceless!

[@LMarti13]

What a fucking class act

[@matthiasmoylan4815]

He plays the best character of all time !

[@Bodichittabatman007]

Don't ever tell him what he can't win

[@0Bennyman]

This was his destiny! What a legend

[@JonMichael1087]

He actually represented the message of LOST quite beautifully here - that despite the pain of life we all find meaning through the people we belong with. They casted the right guy for the role.

[@amalks777]

Don't tell me what i can't do✨

[@wolverineiscool7161]

damn back when emmy speeches were spot on and short and to the point

[@InNomineNostriSatan]

Terry's the most underrated actor in the world.

[@Wicked1865]

"Terry O'Quinn , Won"

[@EAMSprojects]

who would have known that yrs later Terry and Vanessa would play husband and wife on 666 Park Ave?.... amazing actors! That was the first time I watched O'Quinn! I'm a huge fan now. Awesome actor!

[@TheFifthSimulator-ly1dm]

First time i see Ben Linus smiling like that, what's he up to now

[@benstrigle1209]

You guys got any milk?

[@rozio9287]

He killed Locke, that's what he been up to😂

[@IcyNecromancer]

fantastic acceptance speech, gotta love him!

[@josylinewaters4235]

I love all the cast of lost

[@kelvmwangangi4001]

"winning this award was my destiny. I was supposed to win it" Terry should have kept it short and sweet

[@bogeythedog163]

' the island wouldn't let him.

[@The-Aj-]

He is great. Totally deserved it !

[@RonnsMoss]

Winning this award was his destiny.

[@ronnig4009]

OH MY GOSH! His wife is lovely and HUGE by modern standards...not by MY standards, but by the standards of magazines and casting directors....she is just lovely!

Don't tell Terry O Quinn what he can and can't do! It's his destiny!

[@titanic9112001]

Lost is a well-known TV series overall the world

[@johndoe-bf9ho]

I love the introduction narrative for the brig where you see him being thrown out of the window among other things.

[@TheBeddard]

He was my favorite of all the Lost characters. Don't tell him what he can't do!

[@jan63019]

I still think of HIM as the step father!!! Lol Great Actor

Until he went off the rails in season 3.

[@bogeythedog163]

Mr Ecko was great too

Michael Emerson is so cute

[@mandyandnatassia]

@robertsom he says "i wonder what it would be like to bake up a sheet of cookies on wiseria lane...and get one of their cheques" (wisteria lane is the street they live on in Desperate Housewives)

[@jlyn1980]

I just noticed that Katherine Heigl isn't clapping for Terry.

[@bilupp]

He should've just gone up there and said, "Don't tell me what I can't do."

[@NWNative147]

What’s funny is how 2007 is the year in the timeline for when John Locke left the island to convince the Oceanic Six to return to the island but noooooo he just HAS to win an Emmy. Lol

[@brooke9132]

Rewatching Lost and falling in love with Sawyer all over again... And Holloway is excellent. He can be cocky, angry and dangerous, charming, vulnerable, sometimes all of that together. O'Quinn was amazing, Fox was really really good, but given that every one of the actors on Lost was great, I don't think he deserved the nomination as much as O'Quinn or Emerson or Andrews did, or as much as Holloway or Daniel Dae Kim would have deserved it

[@iamworstgamer]

After watching lost multiple times. I think it was about the characters, Locke, jack, and ben were complex characters. Other characters were not as complex as much. Besides those three the other character is Desmond. So they got nominations because their characters were complicated to play. Jack's character was way more complex and intense than sawyer's. Charlie was a better character than sawyer, Hugo was too. But Charlie and Hugo were more linear characters.

[@abdoujrdz]

Best character in lost

[@simpleone7a]

I just started watching this show and i love it! I hate his character though lol, im in the 4th season now. Yeah i know i said i just started, but i've been watching them back to back to back. I saw this guy 1st time ever in the 80's in a movie called stepfather II

[@MissKookiii]

@misskookiii lost is the greatest tv show of all time imo. I need to rewatch it now

it shouldn't, he's a better actor than both of them.

I am sorry I posted the comment before watching the video! :P
