Updated (12:15 am ET 5/16): Adding a few more confirmed dead pilots and series renewals. There are no more in doubt, the pilot orders are done. I think ABC finally got tired and went home.
Updated 9:25pm ET: Oh yeah, ABC isn’t done. Pilots also being picked up to series, Mixology, The Returned, Killer Women, Trophy Wife, and of course (duh, how did I leave this off the list?) the Once Upon A Time spinoff in Wonderland. Also, Red Widow has been officially cancelled, but that’s not exactly a shock there. The CW was beating that show’s numbers.
When doing the network math, only one major network had yet to announce pilot pickups, or announce most series renewals and cancellations. I guess there’s something to that always going last. After all, it’s polite to let everyone go first, right?
Anyway, ABC did come through with announcements, since it would be rather lame to go “surprise!” at air time and air what they want. Although, I would so watch that reveal. Surprisingly though, the list is pretty short so far.

For those that really don’t remember at all what the ABC Pilots are (other than Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, you gotta know about that), here’s my detailed list at the ABC selections:
I’ll provide updates as they happen, because I’m sure ABC is not done. Or maybe they are. We’ll figure it out by their upfront presentation on Tuesday, May 14th.
