George Bernard Shaw is the only person who has won both a Nobel Prize and an Academy Award.
He won the Nobel in 1925 and an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay in 1938 (for Pygmalion).
"I can forgive Alfred Nobel for having invented dynamite," he once said, "but only a fiend in human form could have invented the Nobel Prize."
UPDATE: This is now a club of two: In 2007 Al Gore won both an Oscar (for documentary feature, for his film An Inconvenient Truth) and the Nobel Peace Prize (for spreading awareness of anthropogenic climate change). Thanks to Michael for the nudge.
