No one has ever won the prestigious awards in the same year. If you were thinking the answer was former Vice President Al Gore, think again. Gore was awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, but he did not receive an Oscar on February 25, 2007 for the 2006 documentary "An Inconvenient Truth." That award went to director Davis Guggenheim.

The great Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925. He also received an Academy Award for the adapted screenplay of the 1938 film "Pygmalion," based on his 1912 play.
On October 13, 2016, the iconic American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan was named the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature. According to The Swedish Academy, which issues the award in memory of the philanthropist Alfred Nobel (1833-1896), Dylan was honored for "having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition."
It was the first time that the award was bestowed upon someone primarily known as a musician. Dylan became the first American to win the literature prize since 1993, when it was awarded to author Toni Morrison.
Dylan received a 2000 Oscar for Best Original Song: "Things Have Changed" from the late Curtis Hanson's comedy/drama "Wonder Boys."
