George Bernard Shaw
Shaw won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925.and an Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay in 1938 for "Pygmalion". Pinter's screenplays for "The French Lieutenant's Woman"& "Betrayal" were nominated for Academy Awards in 1981 and 1983 respectively: he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2005. Dylan's Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016 was "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition"; his Academy Award, in 2001, was for one of the songs he wrote and performed in the film "Wonder Boys".
