And, of course, they dispassionately looked through all of the possibilities and settled on the best one.
Is that list just the peace prize or all of them? Politics aside would a physics professor be all that qualified to nominate someone for the medicine prize or vice versa?
Sorry, I forgot to post the link; it’s just for the Peace Prize.
I would like whoever would piss off Donald Trump the most to receive the award. Joe Biden? George Soros? Gavin Newsom?
How about the USAID?
Barack Obama.
Giving it to Obama a second time would piss him off. That would make me happy.
We could get lucky and he’d have an stroke.
Note that the nomination deadline is in February, so whoever gets it this year has already been nominated.
Hm, interesting, I’d never looked into it in detail before, but while unsolicited nominations are accepted for the Peace Prize, and a professor in an appropriate field from any university can submit, the submitters for the other prizes are by invitation only, and only from a select list of universities.
I guess that the idea is that all physicists, say, will know what the biggest things going on in physics are, but that the awardees for the Peace Prize might be more obscure.
Does anyone know when nominations open again?
Googling, September. And actually the end of the nomination process is the end of January.
“And the Nobel Peace Prize goes to: Donald Trump!”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…Junior!”
Not Eric Trump?
I think letting him think it’s his before doing the big tablecloth pull would sort of be the point.
I’m reminded of a line from Seinfeld, where someone is relating to Elaine what George Constanza’s opinion is about something, and Elaine says, “but you see, the thing about George is, he’s an idiot”. The thing about Trump is, idiots can’t see themselves for who they are, due to the powerful force of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
They don’t want to pay for a ‘sitter’ to accompany Eric at the banquet to make sure he doesn’t stick a fork in his eye.

Ironically, the day he stops breathing will be a great day for world peace
I believe you have to be asked to nominate for the other prizes. I know this is true for Economics having been asked myself a few times.
Did you nominate anyone?
Yes twice, but you are not supposed to say whom. The people I nominated the first time did not win. I nominated the same people the second time and they did share the prize.
He’s the Peace President! According to Leavett, he’s brokered peace deals all around the world. Economic pressure makes these countries jump. I wish, in the interest of peace, he could do something about that rogue country that keeps threatening Greenland, Canada, and Mexico.
