Hi Ian, this from the very recently updated wikipedia:
He is the only person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize (1925)<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Prize_in_Literature>and an Oscar (1938)<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Writing_Adapted_Screenplay>. These were awarded for Shaw's contribution to literature and the film * Pygmalion* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmalion_%281938_film%29>, respectively. (It is not the case that Al Gore<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore>shares this distinction, as the Academy Award for *An Inconvenient Truth* was not awarded to Gore personally).
