What are the interesting tidbits of the Nobel Prize in history?

In the process of awarding the Nobel Prize in Physics, there are also "embarrassing things" that are mistaken because of the same name and surname. Norman Ramsey, the winner of the 1989 award, said in an interview in 2005 that in the year of his award, the chairman of the jury thought that someone else was in Washington, USA, so he convened an economist with the same name and surname there.
