Nobel's Prize Day!

On this day (December 10) in 1901, the first Nobel Prizes were awarded on the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death: for Physiology, Behring (antitoxin for diptheria); for Peace, Dunant (founding the International Red Cross) and jointly Passy; Physics, Röntgen (x-ray), and for Chemistry, Van't Hoff (chemical thermodynamics).

The Nobel committee admitted that one of it's greatest omissions in the history of awarding the Nobel Prize was Gandhi; in 2006 the Secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee said "The greatest omission in our 106 year history is undoubtedly that Mahatma Gandhi never received the Nobel Peace prize. Gandhi could do without the Nobel Peace prize. Whether Nobel Committee can do without Gandhi is the question." Gandhi was nominated twice during two separate awards seasons, the second time the year he died. That year, 1948, the Nobel Committee did not award a peace prize, saying "there was no suitable living candidate".

So... who is YOUR favorite winner of the Nobel Prize?

Or should get one next year?!?
