Nod, No 'D', I get it. Had to google that. There's a fine line between cryptic clues and bad puns, that one crossed it.

glad that one's solved (awardees). i'm not sure about the root of all conflict = a war. could split it award-ees = 'prizewinners gift three points', although gift=award is questionable.
good stuff though. it annoyed the hell out of me for a long time. :)

root of the word all = the letter a, then conflict = war, was how I read it.

I always thought that Omaha was a state, but it looks not, so I have the answer wrong.
My thinking, other than that, was nothing=O, holy man=maha
