LOS ANGELES (AP) - Emmy officials are revamping their awards rules for the second time in two years, trying to give newcomers a better chance against the long-running series and familiar stars that can monopolize the annual TV awards show.
Under the revised approach, blue-ribbon panels will play an instrumental role in determining the nominees in the categories of drama and comedy series and lead actors and actresses in the series.
"This new voting initiative hits the issue of a narrow nominations' process head-on and significantly increases the potential for the widest and most diverse selection of nominees possible," TV academy chairman Dick Askin said in a statement Tuesday.
