Y'all may or may not know this, but mikijean and I occasionally dabble in a bit of TV blogging on a little WordPress blog known as TV Bacon. Being the sociologist/Emmy nut/whiz with statistics that she is, mikijean is cooking up a post about the Emmys, but she needs to gather some data first. And this is where ya'll come in. We need people to fill out a sample Emmy ballot for us.

All you have to do is rank the nominees in order of preference. It only covers the acting/show categories, so it shouldn't take more than a few minutes. And you'll finally get your chance to show the Academy what they're doing wrong! What's not to love about that?

If you're interested in participating, just send an email to tvbacon(at)gmail(dot)com with the subject heading "Emmy Ballot" and we'll respond with the ballot and the instructions for voting. Don't worry, it's just me and mikijean checking that account, and we promise not to pester you with spam or sell your email address to marketing firms. Honest.

Feel free to tell your friends and pimp this out as much as you want. The more the merrier!
