This must have been before I started to watch it because I haven’t seen this category

Well, bummer. I was planning on watching tonight and cheering for TB. Don’t think I’ll bother now. We all know how great the music is. It’s such an integral part of the show. Kudos to TB for its fantastic musical offerings and for this amazing album.

Shame it didn’t win. I do love one song from the Slumdog Millionaire: “Jai Ho” with the Pussycat Dolls. Check it out, it’s really really good. I’m watching anyway because of my girl, Beyoncé :-D

Nothing can detract from the great music on TB. Maybe next year.

I was expecting the headline to say, “Soundtrack for Mad Men Won”. LOL Next year.

I adore the TB soundtrack. All of the theme music for Bill and Sookie is wonderful, haunting, powerful and beautiful.
Congratulations to Nathan Barr for the nomination.

Miya, it wasn’t Nathan’s CD that was nominated. It was the compilation CD of songs from the episodes that Gary Calamar chose, including Bad Things, etc. At any rate, I too love Nathan’s music and think the choices of songs for the episodes was also terrific and deserved a nod.
