It's a One Day at a Time #ThrowBackThursday! This particular throwback seems fitting considering the Daytime Emmy nominations are coming out later today.
Back in 2009, when I first brought ODaaT back to the web, I, of course, returned to the Absolute Productions Network, which I co-created with my brother Patrick. At the time, the network had a handful of other series and our own forum that we discussed all things webseries on. Some time in the fall of 2009, one of us had the idea to have an awards gala to celebrate the APN and our series.
The way it worked: each series could submit two "pre-nominations" in each character category along with 1 episode to show why they should be nominated. The participating show runners would read the episodes and rank the pre-nods (excluding their own series) in order of 1 being best to 10 being worst; associated with each ranking position, was a point allotment (for example, being ranked 1 was worth 10 points, 2 8 points, 3 6 points ect). At the end of the process, the top 5 point collectors become the nominations (all the nominations ended up having the same number of votes because each category was missing a set of votes, the ones from their own show runners).
At the time of the nominations, each show runner was able to provide two episodes to show why the nominee should win; the same ranking system went into place and at the end, the top point collector was awarded the win. We held the awards in a chatroom where all the showrunners attended, and the awards were presented. We made it a large, glitzy event that was a ton of fun. We had planned a second gala in 2010, but I ended up leaving the APN before they ended up happening (or they may have and I didn't know about it).
As you can see, ODaaT did very well, gaining 21 nominations and winning an outstanding 6 trophies, including Best Series! I was very flattered by the wins and thought it would be fun to revisit this today!
