I thought they were all handed out in Oslo. Silly me. According to Brittanica:
- After Nobel's death on Dec. 10, 1896, the Nobel Foundation was set up to carry out the provisions of his will and to administer the fortune he had left. In his will Nobel had stipulated that four different institutions--three Swedish and one Norwegian--should award the prizes. In Stockholm, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the prizes for physics, chemistry, and economics; the Karolinska Institute awards the prize for physiology or medicine; and the Swedish Academy awards the prize for literature. The Norwegian Nobel Committee based in Oslo awards the prize for peace. The Nobel Foundation is the legal owner and functional administrator of the funds and serves as the joint administrative body of the prize-awarding institutions, but it is not concerned with the prize deliberations or decisions, which rest exclusively with the four institutions.

Which begs this legitimate question: are the Nords actually sun-deprived and antisocial enough to nominate FatFuck for the Prize?

If that's the Daily Double, I'll bet it all on "No," Alex.
