Das wäre tatsächlich interessant. Da viele Nobelpreisgewinner anscheinend zuerst an einen Scherz glauben, hat das Nobelpreiskommitee laut einem Bericht von Freakonomics zumindest bei wissenschaftlichen Nobelpreisen angeblich immer dem Preisträger namentlich bekannte Kollegen dabei oder zugeschaltet, die im Zweifelsfall den Gewinner davon überzeugen sollen, dass es kein Scherz ist.

Nobelpreistäger Al Roth von der Universität Stanford beschreibt den Ablauf so:
Quote:
ROTH: I knew that I was on the big list of people who, if I won a Nobel Prize, it wouldn’t cause the Nobel committee to be embarrassed. The newspapers the next day would not say “Craziness in Stockholm.” But there are many, many people in that category. So indeed, we were asleep. We were not waiting for a call. And it’s an interesting call because one of the things they’re concerned about — they have a lot of experience with this — is convincing you that it’s not a prank. So the person who first spoke to me said, “Congratulations. You’ve won the Nobel Prize.” And then he said, “And I’m here with six of my colleagues and two of them know you and they’re going to talk to you now.”

DUBNER: To persuade you that this was for real.

ROTH: Right.

DUBNER: Either that, or a very elaborate prank.

ROTH: Exactly.
Ich frage mich, ob sie das bei Künstlern auch so machen....
