Thanks for explaining the process! This sounds like a good system. Is it hard for them to find judges? That's a big commitment. How many Barrymore Recommended shows are there each season?

The system I was thinking of was one where the nominators' scores were also used in the final decisions, which didn't seem fair. I thought that was true at some point, but maybe I misunderstood the process.

I believe the number of Barrymore Recommended shows for 2016-2017 was around 85. There were around 130 eligible shows over the course of the season. I imagine the number of recommended shows will be similar this season, though there's no guarantee.

I'm not sure how difficult it is to find judges -- they don't seem to have any problem finding nominators, and as I said, they even increased the number of nominators this year by 10. Speaking as someone who's been a nominator -- once a show is Barrymore Recommended, the nominator's job is done. Our scores have no bearing on the judging process. We just decide whether to move the production forward or not. It may have been different in the past, but not since I have been involved in the last couple of years.

Thanks again for all the great information. That's a big commitment to see 85 shows (in addition to whatever other shows you'd want to see), so my hats off to you for doing that!

Looking back, it looks like back in 2011, there were 66 judges who each were supposed to see 15 - 25 of 147 potential show nominees. Each show was seen by 8 judges. They were also the nominators, and their scores were used to determine the nominees as well as the winners. In 2011, one show won 8 awards, and that is what I was thinking of. The current process is much, much better.
