So far at least.

Grand Champion Award for the Most Ubiquitious Shareholder: Tom Russo

Outdid Buffett as Company Shill Award: Kevin Clayton, for his infomercial for manufactured homes, live on Fox Business with Liz Claman.

Worst Windup Award: "I feel bad asking you this question" says Andrew Ross Sorkin, before questioning why Buffett spends so much time on TV with Becky instead of running the business. 

Worst Place to be Interviewed on Television Award: Standing in front of a giant model train set that makes you look child-size.

Most Cynical Shareholder Award: Anonymous, to protect their hotel reservation next year. Anonymous said, "Those people at the Marriott are smart businesspeople. They don't give you anything unless you go down to the front desk and ask for it."

the same as

they look the same to me as the bags you have printed on the internet (that are way more expensive - ten bucks or so). This is the third year i have heard people complain about the price of the M&Ms. I think the feeling is that they are promotional items, so the price should be comparable to regular M&Ms. (This year for the first time, I actually heard a complaint "why don't they give this stuff away?" are you kidding/this is Berkshire!) Anyway, for whatever reason the M&Ms tick people off.
