Dear mongolia,
In the history of the Nobel Prize and the Academy Award (the "Oscar"),
there is only one single person who has received both prizes: The
well-known Irish dramatist and literary critic George Bernard Shaw
(1856-1950).
He received the 1925 Nobel Prize for Literature in 1926, and in 1939
he was awarded the 1938 "Oscar" for the screenplay of the movie
version of his stageplay Pygmalion.
To the present day, no one else owned both these awards.
