Last call for Brodies Nominations!!

Comments (28)

1. Best poem – Mormonism and Me by Tanner Gilliland

2. I’m not sure if this goes in Best Comic or Image, or in Best Meme, but the Facebook conversation between various Mormon icons about the seer stone takes the cake:

   This series was already nominated for best historical piece, but I think it could also be nominated for best piece on Mormonism and Race: “Stewart Udall Sequence” at http://thoughtsonthingsandstuff.com/stewart-udall-sequence-i-the-conscience-of-a-jack-mormon/

   Funniest Humor Piece: http://zelphontheshelf.com/the-8-worst-yankee-candles-to-buy-an-ex-mormon/

   Shameless personal plug for Best Title: “If You’re A Pharisee and You Know It Wash Your Hands”

   As a side note, any content attributed to Richard R. Lyman, can be attributed to Tanner Gilliland. I’ll let the other Zelphies decide if they want to do the same.

3. Quick comment on your final category: best podcast series or episode. I think it may be referring to the episode of the naked mormonism podcast titled “CC – Book of Mormon”. It was a 7.5 hr deconstruction of the BoM. This is merely a guess at trying to clarify though, I’m not 100% sure.

4. Yes, I was referring to Naked Mormonism’s episode “Book of Mormon: CC”

5. Here is the missing AMA link

6. @1 Do you have a link?

   @2 It’s very true that the Stuart Udall sequence could also be in the “Mormonism and Race” category. The main problem is that Thinker of Thoughts already has a different entry in that category. TofT can feel free to comment about which of his posts he’d like to have in which category, but I really try to avoid having multiple posts by the same author in the same category because I don’t want someone to lose simply because their own pieces are competing against each other.

   The same is true, BTW, of the “Yankee Candle” nomination. I can add that one to the humor category if you like (competing against your blog’s “Holy Ghost Simulator App” post), or I could put it in another category, or I could replace the “Holy Ghost Simulator App” nomination with the “Yankee Candle” nomination. Just tell me which solution you prefer.

   Also, thanks for any clarification on how you’d like the various posts from your blog attributed. 😀

   @3 & @4 Do you have a link? Sounds like I can put that one in the “Scripture Study” category.

   @5 Thanks!

7. Link for CC-Book of Mormon episode nakedmormonismpodcast.com/episodes.html. The episode is a few down on the list.

8. p.s. As usual, I’m asking everyone to include links to their nominations, but the links can cause your comment to get caught in the spam filter. If your comment doesn’t appear right away, either post a followup comment (without links) alerting me to look for the missing comment, or just email me directly: chanson dot exmormon at gmail dot com.

9. @7 thanks.

10. @7 Bryce — Actually it looks like I don’t currently have a category for individual pieces on scriptures. So we have a few options:

    1. You can look at the categories for individual works, and see if there’s a different episode from your podcast to nominate in one of the existing categories, or
    2. I can add a category for “Best Scripture Study/Analysis Piece” — and then I (and others) can go through the other scripture-study blogs/podcasts and pick each one’s best post/episode, to fill out the category, or
    3. Both of the above if you haven’t already nominated yourself twice.

11. @10 I haven’t nominated myself at all yet, so I suppose option 3 would be best in my opinion. It looks like the episode could fit under the “Best Scripture Study Blog/Site/Channel/Podcast:” category, however, the entire podcast isn’t about scripture study, it’s just that one episode. I would like to nominate the CC-BoM episode for that category, or for the category proposed in option 2 of your last comment. Other than that, I would like to nominate “Episode 20 – Joe the Ignoramus, and the Book of Pukei” for best post title. Found on that same link http://nakedmormonismpodcast.com/episodes.html. I suppose those are my two official shameless self-nominations.

12. Best /r/mormon AMA: Lindsay Hansen Park

    Best Response to Apologetics: A Beginner’s guide to choosing witnesses by AmoraTambora

    I can’t find a recording of Russell Baker-Gorringe’s remarks at the Interfaith sermon. Perhaps, you had to be there. 🙂 Shout out: does anyone know someone who can contact him or find out if the service was recorded?

    I always love Bagley’s cartoons, but if I had to choose one of the two, then in light of the magnitude of the LDS church’s defacto declaration of war against LGBT families in 2015, I would choose this one.

13. @11 OK, sounds good. I’ll add your nomination for “Best Post Title”, and I’ll throw in a new “individual works” category for scripture study/analysis.

    Anyone reading this who would like to help fill this category with your favorite post from one of the scripture study sites above, that would be great! 😀

    Bryce, you’re friends with David from “My Book of Mormon”, aren’t you? Maybe you could help identify his best episode of 2015 for nomination in this category.

14. http://mybookofmormonpodcast.com/2015/07/13/episode-88-pricey-pearl-6-abraham-2-3-kolob/

    http://mybookofmormonpodcast.com/2015/11/23/episode-100-dc-5-section-6/

    These can fill up the category.

15. I am a fan of My Book of Mormon, so I will weigh in 🙂

16. @14 & @15 Thanks!

    But could you pick one or the other? As I said, I really prefer not to have two pieces by the same author/artist competing against each other in the same category. It splits that person’s fans’ votes, decreasing their chances of winning.

    I’m sure that one or more of the scripture-study blogs had a post worth nominating in 2015, plus there may well be other blogs and podcasts that aren’t necessarily focused on scripture study, but had one article, episode, or series that deserves to be nominated (like Naked Mormonism’s “CC-BoM” series).

17. Best Poem: I don’t see a god by BYUDinamarca

    Best Poem: A poem for my brothers and sisters by Joanna Brooks

    Best Poem: When the banks became cathedrals by FractalBloom

    Most Insightful Commentary on the CoJCoL-dS: A letter to LDS teenagers by Oliver_DeNom

    edit: fix formatting

18. Okay, we can do the Abraham one.

19. I came over here to nominate a couple of my favorites – Johnny Townsend and Against the Greater Light, only to find them already nominated. I also discovered that I’m woefully behind on my reading/listening/viewing. What an exciting year with so much new talent! I’m looking forward to checking out the many sites I haven’t visited yet and then voting. Oh, and thank you, chanson, for nominating a couple of my posts. 🙂

    Thanks, as always, for doing this!

20. Here is a fixed link:

    Best LDS-Interest Comic or Image: C3P0-Moroni by canadianjohnson

21. Thanks everyone for all the great nominations — you have a little time left to get a last few in!

    @19 No problem. Actually, if you want to nominate a post from “Against the Greater Light” for the new scripture study category, that would be cool. I would do it myself, but I’ve already nominate the author twice.

22. Great suggestion! Since I’m a fan of good old Samuel the Lamanite, I’ll nominate one of “Against the Greater Light’s” Prick on the Wall posts. 🙂

    Helaman 13: Another Prick on the Wall http://questioningthechurch.blogspot.com/2015/12/helaman-13-another-prick-on-wall.html

23. Shameless self promotion (if nominations are still open…):

24. How in the hell is “General Conference: Infant Style” from April 2015 not in funniest humor piece? http://infantsonthrones.com/general-conference-infant-style/

    This was the original one with Packer getting all honey and Perry talking about penises and vaginas. So damned funny.

25. @24 That’s a good choice, but we already have one nomination for the Infants in that category. As explained above, one entry per artist per category. 😉

26. @23 you’ve just gotten in under the wire — I’m preparing the polls right now. 😉

27. @23 correction — I’m sorry, I have to reject one of the two because you already have other posts nominated in the relevant categories. 😉

28. Nominations are closed and voting has begun!
