We've already shattered the previous record for votes in the first round combined. With over 487,000 votes. The 2015 BOTVA's all time record of 575,000 votes in a year. The Semi-Final rounds for Best Youth Actor, Actress and New Program categories took place a couple weeks ago. Here are the complete results (BOLD nominees have qualified for the Finals) Best New Program JESSICA JONES 247 SUPERGIRL 223 AGENT CARTER 189 QUANTICO 185 DAREDEVIL 180 SENSE8 146 IZOMBIE 121 EMPIRE 93 FEAR THE WALKING DEAD 72 LIMITLESS 60 GALAVANT 57 UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT 52 Better Call Saul 42, Heroes Reborn 37, 12 Monkeys 32, X Company 32, The Player 31, Minority Report 28, UnReal 28, Wayward Pines 28 Best Youth Actor JARED GILMORE "Once Upon A Time" 138 CHANDLER RIGGS "The Walking Dead" 122 DAVID MAZOUZ "Gotham" 115 ISAAC HEMPSTEAD-WRIGHT "Game Of Thrones" 76 RAPHAEL ALEJANDRO "Once Upon A Time" 73 ROBBIE KAY "Heroes Reborn" 62 ROSS LYNCH "AUstin & Ally" 49 SLOANE MORGAN SIEGEL "Gortimer Gibbons Life On Normal Street" 39 SEAN GIAMBRONE "The Goldbergs" 34 TANNER FLOOD "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" 34 BENJAMIN STOCKHAM "About A Boy" 32 Bradley Steven Perry "Mighty Med" 17, Sean Michael Kyer "When Calls The Heart" 16, Brandon Soo Hoo "From Dusk Till Dawn" 11, Jake Short "Mighty Med" 9 Best Youth Actress MAISIE WILLIAMS "Game Of Thrones" 219 CHANDLER KINNEY "Gortimer Gibbons Life On Normal Street" 166 CAMREN BICONDOVA "Gotham" 112 SASHA PIETERSE "Pretty Little Liars" 100 SOPHIE TURNER "Game Of Thrones" 97 OLIVIA STEELE FALCONER "Once Upon A Time" 89 ASHLEY BOETTCHER "Gortimer Gibbons Life On Normal Street" 87 DANIELLE CAMPBELL "The Originals" 77 TEILOR GRUBBS "Hawaii Five-0" 59 SKYLER WEXLER "Orphan Black" 55 NATALIE ALYN LIND "Gotham" 46 ZOE DE GRAND MAISON "Orphan Black" 39 MADISON MCLAUGHLIN "Chicago PD" 38 NATALIE ALYN LIND "The Goldbergs" 37 Clare foley "Gotham" 30, Danika Yarosh "Heroes Reborn" 26, Gatlin Green "Heroes Reborn" 21, Sammi Hanratty "Salem" 15, Paris Berelc "Mighty Med" 10, Amelia Rose Blaire "Scream" 10, Cozi Zuehlsdorff "Mighty Med" 8 The Best Youth Actor Host category will see the two winners of this award in the finals again, but neither seems to be a serious favorite this time around. Last years winner Isaac Hempstead-Wright from "Game Of Thrones" is back, along with the 2013 winner Robbie Kay for his work on "Heroes Reborn", previously he won with his work on "Once Upon A Time". But its regular finalsts Jared Gilmore "Once Upon A Time" and Chandler Riggs "The Walking Dead", along with David Mazouz "Gothqam" who led the semi-final voting & look like they will give serious competition for the title this year. The Best Youth Actress Category looks like it might again go to the 2013 winner Maisie Williams from "Game Of Thrones:". After losing the 2014 title to now over 20 actress Bex Taylor-Klaus, the inagural winner looks to have a serious run at a 2nd title set up. While some competition was put in for the semi-finals from unexpected contender Chandler Kinney from "Gortimer Gibbons Life On Normal Street" and Camren Bicondova from "Gotham", Williams seems like the safe bet in this category again. The Best New Program Category seems poised to crown a female led hero show this year. Jessica Jones, Supergirl and Agent carter were the top 3 vote getters in the semi-finals. While Quantico & Daredevil were also close to the leaders. Fear The Walking Dead makes the finals, hoping to follow in its origin shows footsteps and win the New Program award. Two comedies Galavant & Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt eek into the finals, making them the first comedies to make the finals since 2011 Breaking In did so. The Final round of the 2015 Best Of TV Awards will be under way with some categories soon. Each voting round will last 3 to 6 days.
