Two people have won both an oscar and a nobel prize. One is Al Gore but who is the other! I cant figure it out!

I have no idea if this is true or a cheese dream....

Did Saint Bono not win an oscar for best song on Gangs of New York (or maybe just a nomination).

And he must have a few Nobel prizes knocking around by now surely.

If the above is true then that makes him number three!

If it is false I shall go back to my cheese

The song was nominated alright. It lost out to Emimem's song from 8 Mile though.
