Hey gang,

I just pulled this off of FF, and it originated over on zap2it.com. The Emmy 
voters get their ballots next week And of course all the 'for your 
consideration' ads are gonna start running in the trade papers. Well get a 
load of this:

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Subscribers to Variety got a little more in their 
papers Tuesday (May 28) than the usual stories about boffo box office and 
studio executives "ankling" for another job.They also received a DVD copy of 
"Once More, with Feeling," the musical episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" 
that aired last November. The disc was more than just a gift from UPN and the 
show's producer, 20th Century Fox Television -- it was also the start of an 
Emmy campaign.Ballots for the prime-time Emmy Awards go out to members of the 
Academy of Television Arts and Sciences next week. That means academy members 
and readers of the Hollywood trade papers -- Variety and The Hollywood 
Reporter -- will be inundated with "for your consideration" ads in the coming 
weeks as shows try to position themselves in the race.Nominations will be 
announced July 18, with the awards broadcast scheduled for Sept. 22 on NBC.In 
addition to the "Buffy" ad, the trades also ran ads Showtime, TNT and the 
History Channel in their Tuesday editions. The inclusion of the DVD may be a 
first, however.Members of the academy are sent dozens of videotapes and DVDs 
each year to review as they make their nominations. But representatives for 
both 20th and UPN say they can't recall a disc being part of a "for your 
consideration" ad in the trade papers.
