    I was able to access it but maybe because a few free views are available per month?

    In any case, here's the list directly from the JBF site:

    Compared to being selected as a finalist, being named a semi-finalist really isn't a very big deal. Here's how they're selected:

    jamesbeard.org wrote:Where do the semifinalists come from? The process began in October with an open call online; anyone could submit up to two entries per category. After receiving about 20,000 submissions, our Restaurant and Chef Awards Committee, composed of critics, writers, and editors, went to work and produced the list of semifinalists, culled from the open call and committee suggestions, for each award. This list will move on to a voting body of former Beard Award winners; Restaurant and Chef Award Committee members; and other regional panelists. After these judges cast their votes, the five semifinalists with the highest number of votes in each category advance to become the nominees. They will be announced, along with the nominees for Book, Broadcast Media, Journalism, and Restaurant Design awards, on Tuesday, March 15.

    I'm delighted to see that the entertaining "I'll Have What Phil's Having" won a James Beard award, and J. Kenji López-Alt, for his book, The Food Lab.
