He's the second person in history to have an Oscar and a Nobel Prize. The first being George Bernard Shaw.

I believe Al Gore won both a Nobel and Oscar.

For anyone wondering why suddenly there are two Al Gore jokes here, like I was, it's not a joke: he won an Oscar for An Inconvenient Truth.

Al Gore didn't win the Oscar, he gave the acceptance speech on behalf of the director of the documentary, he won a grammy though.

By the way, you're a mean person peter303, Al Gore is a nice person.

Edit: Oh, I spoke too soon. He actually has a Nobel, a Grammy and an Emmy award. That's actually even more impressive than I expected.

Baby Boomers run the world and dictate the culture from boardrooms, and he's Boomer Jesus. Newport 1965 is told just like the crucifixion story.
