Yes, and for the same reasons as Chairman's. My only concern would be that (as pointed out above for Chairman's), the judges would be even more overloaded than they are now.

Now that I think about it, there might be some drawbacks here. The judges would be stretched even further, and likely wouldn't have as much time to really deliberate and consider the pros and cons of 30+ individuals (and I bet it would be higher than 30 at some events). If they're spending more time talking with nominees and less time deliberating, something might get missed, and then someone very deserving loses out on an award.

Then again, someone probably made the same argument for the Chairman's decision. I'm in favor of the change, just worried about the judges' workload.
