Michael Jackson Nomination 2010 Nobel Peace Prize-Merged Petitions

Re: Michael Jackson Nomination 2010 Nobel Peace Prize

Won't give it to him, no matter what. Too much controversy.

They have no problem to give it to terrorists like Jasser Arafat, though.

Re: Michael Jackson Nomination 2010 Nobel Peace Prize

Is it possible to nominate someone for a posthumous Nobel Prize?

No, it is not. Previously, a person could be awarded a prize posthumously if he/she had already been nominated (before February 1 of the same year), which was true of Erik Axel Karlfeldt (Nobel Prize in Literature 1931) and Dag Hammarskjöld (Nobel Peace Prize, 1961). Effective from 1974, the prize may only go to a deceased person to whom it was already awarded (usually in October) but who had died before he/she could receive the Prize on December 10 (William Vickrey, 1996 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economics in Memory of Alfred Nobel). See also par. 4 of the Statutes of the Nobel Foundation.

yeah theres the famous story of Rosalind Franklin who should have been credited for the discovery of the structure of DNA with Watson and Crick but she couldn't be awarded the prize as well as she was already dead.
