La duda me surgió el martes con uno de mis grupos de español, y nadie sabía la respuesta en el momento. Así que llevo un par de días (ayer y hoy) enredando en internet y no doy con la respuesta. Y me pica mucho la curiosidad, francamente.
Buscando respuesta a la pregunta he dado con un artículo que decía que la Academia Sueca está investigando si hubo filtración del Nobel de Literatura, pues justo un día antes de que se concediera el nombre de Le Clézio subió como la espuma en las casas de apuestas inglesas, concretamente en una cuyo nombre no recuerdo ( y que no me voy a poner a buscar ahora, como es evidente). Sin que fuera, ni mucho menos, uno de los nombres más sonados; de hecho, ni siquiera aparecía en las listas de "posibles" que se hacen cada año con motivo de este premio.
Los caballos, el fútbol, el boxeo y las carreras de galgos (¡hasta eso!) están pasados de moda, que lo sepáis. Lo que se lleva es apostar a los candidatos del Nobel.
Leer para creer.

Nomination and selection Compared with some other prizes, the Prize nomination and selection processis long and rigorous. This is a key reason why the Prizes have grown inimportance over the years to become the most important prizes in theirfield.[8] The Nobel laureates are selected by their respective committees. For thePrizes in Chemistry, Physics and Economics, a committee consists of fivemembers elected by The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences; for the Prize inLiterature, a committee of four to five members of the Swedish Academy; forthe Prize in Physiology or Medicine, the committee consists of five membersselected by The Nobel Assembly, which consists of 50 members elected byKarolinska Institutet; for the Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committeeconsists of five members elected by the Norwegian Storting (the Norwegianparliament).[9] In its first stage, several thousand people are asked tonominate candidates. These names are scrutinized and discussed by expertsin their specific disciplines until only the winners remain. This slow andthorough process, insisted upon by Alfred Nobel, is arguably what gives theprize its importance. Despite this, there have been questionable awards andquestionable omissions over the prize's century-long history. Forms, which amount to a personal and exclusive invitation, are sent toabout three thousand selected individuals to invite them to submitnominations. For the peace prize, inquiries are sent to such people asgovernments of states, members of international courts, professors andrectors at university level, former Peace Prize laureates, current orformer members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, among others. TheNorwegian Nobel Committee then bases its assessment on nominations sent inbefore 3 February.[10] The submission deadline for nominations for Physics,Chemistry, Medicine, Literature and Economics is 31 January.[11]Self-nominations and nominations of deceased people are disqualified. The names of the nominees are never publicly announced, and neither arethey told that they have been considered for the Prize. Nomination recordsare sealed for fifty years. In practice some nominees do become known. Itis also common for publicists to make such a claim, founded or not. After the deadline has passed, the nominations are screened by committee,and a list is produced of approximately two hundred preliminary candidates.This list is forwarded to selected experts in the relevant field. Theyremove all but approximately fifteen names. The committee submits a reportwith recommendations to the appropriate institution. The Assembly for theMedicine Prize, for example, has fifty members. The institution membersthen select prize winners by vote. The selection process varies slightly between the different disciplines.The Literature Prize is rarely awarded to more than one person per year,whereas other Prizes now often involve collaborators of two or three.
