Lost star Evangeline Lilly is pleased that the show did not receive any Emmy nominations this year.

The actress, who plays Kate Austen, believes that being overlooked will stop the cast and crew from getting complacent about the show's success.

"My first reaction to it was, 'Good.' I don't want us to become that show that becomes so righteous, so above everything else, that we're untouchable," she told WENN.

"When we started, our big question was, 'Will anybody even watch this show?' And then when people started watching, we were thrilled. And then when we got recognised critically, we were beside ourselves.

"So, when we didn't get nominated, all we had to do was remember where we came from."
