We have a lot of awards to give away, so I've broken them down into different categories: "Most," "Mental Gymnastics," "Style/Voice," "Topical Guide," and "Special."
Here are the "Most" awards and my NOMinees from what I can remember. (I didn't watch priesthood and I missed bits of Saturday's sessions.)
****Please add your NOMinations too!****
General NOMfrence Category: "Most"
Most Homophobic Comment
They really tended towards more veiled criticisms of homosexuality this time. Really the only one I can remember was in D. Todd Christofferson's hot mess of a talk. He said something about traditional marriage. I will add the quote when they put up the written talks.
Most Sexist Comment
Nelson's story about the girl who gave up a state wide championship to got to RS. Except he said she was a Laurel, which would put her in YW not RS. I think the whole thing was BS really.
L. Whitney Clayton had a lot to say about Mary. He called her a "chosen vessel." I know he didn't make up that phrase, it's scripture, but it is sexist. Mary was a person not a vessel. She had a uterus. But her humanity amounts to more than her reproductive organs. Or maybe just to even things out we could start calling the Q15 "chosen scrotums."
Most Racially/Culturally insensitive
Anyone catch anything for this? I know there must have been some, but I just can't think of them now.
Most Inelegant Use of Tears
Eyring of course
Weatherford T. Clayton This guy cried through his WHOLE talk.
