2.01 - The Borgia Bull 
2.02 - Paolo 
2.03 - The Beautiful Deception 
Showtime’s official key art for the second season of its original period drama, The Borgias, suggests that the new Pope Alexander VI may have to watch his back within the Vatican’s walls as well as beyond them.
When the series returns, Rodrigo Borgia (Oscar-winner Jeremy Irons) will demand that his children join him in getting revenge against the families that opposed his climb to the papacy. That’s to be expected. But at the same time, his own family may become his biggest threats.
Cesare’s (François Arnaud) sibling rivalry with Juan (David Oakes) grows into resentment toward their father. And after Rodrigo’s horrible choice for her husband last season, Lucrezia (Holliday Grainger) is finding some independence. Who can blame her? All the while, Rodrigo’s very persistent nemesis Della Rovere (Colm Feore) hasn’t given up and he’s closing in on the Vatican’s new residents.

Jeremy had this to say about his nomination:
“I am delighted to be nominated for my work in Neil Jordan’s The Borgias. In truth, I know it reflects the tireless efforts and exceptional talents of all those who bring this splendid series to the screen. Without the magnificent work in the costume and set design, script writing, lighting and camera work, and the constant care in the direction, production, and marketing, this series would not have grabbed its audience as it appears to have done. That I am surrounded by a talented and dedicated cast is self evident. But, of course, if you want to nominate anyone, and escape with your life, then you’d better first nominate the Pope.”
