The following is the process used to determine those chosen as pre-nominees:
An online judging ballot containing all entrants in each of four performer categories (Lead Actor and Actress and Supporting Actor and Actress) was sent to all registered, eligible peer judges.  The ballot contained a randomized order of performers in each category, regardless of their show affiliation. Judges were required to view clips online containing the work of each performer entry before selecting their top 10 performer choices in each category. Please note that there are 11 Lead Actors and 11 Supporting Actresses due to exact ties in the voting.

Ballots were submitted directly to Lutz & Carr, an independent accounting firm, who tabulated the results. The candidates above who received the highest number of votes now advance to the blue ribbon screening round, scheduled to begin on February 24, 2015, which will determine both nominees and recipients. Please note that this article also contains the names of the Entrants for Younger Actor and Actress, who will proceed directly to the Blue Ribbon Round. All nominations will be announced on Thursday, March 26th.
