What happens next? Once all preliminary nominations have been submitted, our team will determine which ones will be included in Round 1 of voting. We won’t be doing that alone, though!

Join our Tell-Tale TV Show Recommendations Facebook Group to help our team determine which of the preliminary nominations will be included in the first round of voting.

We’ll have several surveys in that group that will allow readers to help decide which shows and performers are officially nominated this year.

The first round of voting will begin on Wednesday, April 29th. After three rounds of voting (the top choices in each round will move on to the subsequent round), all of the winners will be announced here at telltaletv.com.
