A quick recap of the Television Academy's Engineering Awards where Sapphire, Mocha Pro, and Silhouette took home statues for technical achievement.
It’s not every day you win one Emmy Award, let alone three! But that’s exactly what happened last night during the Television Academy’s Engineering Emmy Awards hosted by Kirsten Vangsness of Criminal Minds. Boris FX took home three out of this year’s six Engineering Emmys with Sapphire, Mocha Pro, and Silhouette each winning individual awards.

Mocha Pro rocked out with a riff on Journey’s classic Don’t Stop Believin’. Silhouette hipped and hopped to a spoof on Nicki Minaj’s Starships, and Sapphire got the classic Hollywood treatment with Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend. For your viewing pleasure…
