It's not science, but it is a Nobel Prize. So, the final award of 2005 was the Literature Prize awarded this year to the playwrite Harold Pinter. The award citation read "Harold Pinter, who in his plays uncovers the precipice under everyday prattle and forces entry into oppression's closed rooms" Well. it certainly sounds prettier than the citations for the physics and chemistry prizes.
