After years of seeing the same shows and thesps up for the same awards -- and another crop of actors and series getting the annual shaft -- the Academy of TV Arts & Sciences has done something about it.
For the first time, a blue ribbon panel has been added to the Emmy nomination process. The group, which meets in June at the TV Academy's North Hollywood headquarters, will have the final say in which thesps earn Emmy nods, as well as which series get nominated for outstanding comedy and drama.
The hope? That skeins such as "Gilmore Girls" and "Veronica Mars" -- critically acclaimed but generally ignored by TV Acad voters -- have a better shot at making their way on the Emmy ballot. Same goes for the stars of those shows.

It's too late for the long-retired "Buffy," but by requiring a group of Academy members to actually sit down and watch the shows -- or the actors and actresses -- in contention for the ballot, those shows that perhaps always wind up as the sixth or seventh pick (narrowly missing a nomination), may suddenly have a fighting chance.
