George Bernard Shaw is the only person in history to have won both an Academy Award and a Nobel Prize in Literature. Shaw won the Nobel Prize in 1925 for his contributions to literature and the Oscar in 1939 for Best Adapted Screenplay for 'Pygmalion,' which was based on his own stage play. Shaw was famously dismissive of the Oscar, reportedly saying it was an 'insult' for the public to offer him an award for his work, yet he kept the statuette on his mantelpiece. For decades, he was the only person to hold this 'Double Crown' until Bob Dylan joined him in 2016. Dylan, who won the Oscar for 'Things Have Changed' in 2001, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature 15 years later, making them the only two individuals to bridge the worlds of Hollywood prestige and global literary honors.
