George Bernard Shaw won the Nobel for Literature and Oscar for Best Screenplay.
Gore did not actually win the Oscar personally, though An Inconvenient Truth won Best Documentary.

Not the only one to have won both a Nobel prize and an Oscar (George Bernard Shaw, until now, was the only person to win both a Nobel Prize and an Oscar - The Nobel for Literature, the Oscar for the screenplay of Pygmalion), but the only person to have won the Peace Prize and an Oscar. He's also won an Emmy this year; from the site below: 'The former U.S. vice president will receive an Emmy on Nov. 19 in New York from the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for launching the cable/satellite TV channel, Current TV and being a leading advocate for climate change'.

While George Bernard Shaw won a Nobel Prize and an Oscar, they were for different accomplishments.
Gore won them both for essentially the same thing, which makes his case unique.

George Bernard Shaw won both a Nobel Prize and an Oscar (Nobel for literature in 1925 and the Academy Award for best screenplay for the film adaptation of Pygmalion in 1938).

in one rapid shot, the Nobel Prize unexpectedly grew to grow to be the courtroom jester of awards. They used to stand for integrity chiefly else now they're the fools offered and paid for. this way of waste. as a results of fact the data are completely debunking almost each thing in his action picture, the alarmists have become much extra severe. some present day lies: a million) Earths temp has risen 20 ranges interior the final 10 years (actually below a million interior the final one hundred years) 2) there's a medical "consensus" that worldwide warming is synthetic. (actually maximum listed interior the consensus disagreed) 3) ninety 8% of scientists agree that worldwide warming is synthetic (ninety 8% could not agree on something and ninety 8% do not know anthing approximately earths climate)
