"TIL the opening crawl to Star Wars begins with a storybook-esque narration ("A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....") because George Lucas first imagined his films as stories being told by an ancient race of immortals. The immortals were written out for early films, but this vestige remained."

#19 Perhaps they should have skipped 1994 (Arafat), 2007 (Gore and the IPCC), and 2009 (Obama). Obama was mystified as to why he got it (but he accepted the money anyway).

Matty, Yes. He had perfect pitch, and could tell you the notes on a keyboard as well as sing the tunes, play the instruments, and compose the arrangement, but he couldn't read or transcribe the music in his head. So others who could, did so for him in-studio with all the other musicians working with him. He was by most accounts, a perfectionist, so much so that he often kept crews in the studio for marathon sessions-- sometimes rearranging one song several times. Musicians and producers were exhausted by his quirks, but fascinated by his prowess in creativity and remained with him for decades since his insanity bordered on genius. lol Sad he was an odd duck, and suffered from definitive emotional dysfunctions, but he created some amazing music. The weirdo. lol

#19 Don`t forget that Gandhi was a racist. He lived in South Africa for quite a few years.
