As per usual, the flop Emmys failed to recognize The Borgias in any major categories (an oversight made all the more ridiculous when you consider who they did include in categories like acting, etc), but they did give The Borgias some technical nods, including for some of our favorite episodes:

Personally I'm especially pleased about the nod for score, because the music in "The Prince" was indeed fantastic and deserved recognition, and it's good to see the fabulous "Siblings" up for something (the art direction is indeed always gorgeous on this show).
What do you guys think? Feel free to use this space for rants, etc, lol. I'm sad that this is the last time they will be up for nominations, and they still only get technical nods...at least they got the
same number as for season 1 though, in contrast to the
paltry 4 last year. :(
