NEW BLOOD
This may be the year Scrubs and Gilmore Girls get some long-overdue Emmy props! In a bid to freshen up a competition that finds the same shows winning year after year, the TV academy will allow voters to check off 10 names/shows per category when ballots arrive in May — that's double the current five. The number of final nominees per category, however, will remain at five. Says an Emmy rep: "This gives the approximately 12,000 academy members a chance to expand the field of nominees." Translation: The West Wing's three-year reign is about to come to an end.
