Celebuzz caught up with Lost‘s Michael Emerson—you know, the guy who won the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series Emmy last night—on the red carpet prior to his victory.

The man who plays Benjamin Linus spilled to us about his Lost guest-star wish list, his comedic roots, and the fact that even he gets confused by his show’s plot twists sometimes.

Check out the video for all this and more, plus a chat with Emerson’s castmate Terry O’Quinn about the nature and fate of his character John Locke.
