George Bernard Shaw, an Irish playwright, won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925 for his work which is marked by both idealism and humanity. He later won an Oscar in 1938 for the screenplay adaptation of his play Pygmalion, making him the first person to win both awards.
Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan, an American singer-songwriter, won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016 for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition. He won an Oscar in 2001 for the song Things Have Changed from the movie Wonder Boys.
