The Emmys are presented by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. In February, Emmy officials revamped guidelines in hopes of making the nominations more inclusive.
Under the new approach, the AP observes, blue-ribbon panels pick the five nominees each for comedy and drama series from 10 front-runners as decided by a vote of the academy's general membership. Videotapes of shows were used by panelists in their decisions. Previously, leading vote-getters in the general vote were declared the final nominees.
The Emmy Awards are scheduled to air August 27 on NBC. Conan O'Brien will host from Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium.
