The Borgias Receives 4 Emmy Nominations

[sherrilina]

So the Emmy nominations came out this morning, and unfortunately once again The Borgias got snubbed in all of the major categories (in acting it seemed they were too busy giving nods to every single actor on Downtown Abbey to have room for one of TB's talented cast)...BUT it did get a little recognition:

Can't even BEGIN to say how messed up the Emmys are this year. FUMING.

Ugh, tell me about it! >:( I mean generally they make me angry every year in what they include and what they don't include, but this does seem to be an especially absurd one...like, I love Downtown Abbey, don't get me wrong, even though this season was pretty soapy, but to have SO many nominations, especially in acting, and the actors they picked...like, Hugh Bonneville and Anna and Bates are alright, but their performances didn't particularly ~amaze~ me this past season (especially with the repetitive Anna/Bates storyline)...and meanwhile Francois and Holliday are acting their hearts out and getting no recognition whatsoever...:( It makes me really sad. Generally all the major cable shows get recognition (like even True Blood got major awards, acting nominations and such!!!), but for some reason they seem to avoid The Borgias...IDGI.

Also the last thing Lena Dunham needs are Emmys, IMO, especially for playing herself. /rant

Rant away, I don't mind! My favorite show, the Office, gets snubbed at the Emmys all the time so I feel your pain.

To be fair, I'm glad Downtown Abbey is getting lots of love these days, but one should never overlook the Borgias. Heck, nobody I know even likes the Borgias and that makes me sad too. :(
