    		Al Gore is not quite correct. He was a part-winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_gore), but it was his documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" -- not Gore himself -- that won the 2007 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. The person who received the award on the film's behalf was Davis Guggenheim, not Al Gore himself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Inconvenient_Truth#Awards
