It’s awards season again!! Time to recognize and celebrate the most-talked-about Mo’s and ex-Mo’s of 2025!!
As usual, we start with X-Mormon of the Year — for the X-Mormon who made the biggest splash in 2025!!
Just to review the guidelines: “X-Mormon of the Year” is the award for real-life actions or activism — not for content creation alone. It’s also not a lifetime achievement award. It’s for breaking into the real-world news cycle during the year in question (2025).
Every year people ask: “When is RFM going to win?” Well, he has won — plenty of Brodie Awards (see 2024 for example). If he wants to also win “X-Mormon of the Year”, then all he needs to do is make the news by getting excommunicated, like “Nemo the Mormon” did last year. 😉
Normally when I open these nominations I have at least an idea or two in mind for likely candidates, but this year I’ve got nothing. I don’t recall seeing any high-profile excommunications or other big LDS news stories.
Well, I guess there was one, but — in the interest of keeping this light and fun — please only nominate people who are currently alive.
So it looks like we’re really going to need help crowd-sourcing nominees this year. Anyone can nominate: just post your nominee in the comments below this post or on the corresponding reddit thread. (If you include a link to a relevant news story with your nomination, that would be very helpful!!!)
And remember, please save your nominations for favorite podcasters, YouTubers, artists, etc., for the Brodie Award nominations, which will begin next week. Thanks!!!!
