Decisions of nobel-committe have always been politically motivated.
1. Award was given to Obama; despite his continuation of US Imperialist policies,his support of Israel's (brutal & one sided) War against Gaza. Committe has done same while giving peace prize to Ex-presidents of US.
2. In cold war era Nobel committe used to be more intent on giving prizes to Russian Scientist. Russian government had banned scientist from receiving these awards. Thus most of the winners of Nobel prize eventually used to leave Russia.
3. Noam Chomsky, the person who is political activist from 1966's. Has worked extensively on bringing US Imperialist policies under light. He has great track record in linguistic. He should have got multiple Nobel prizes in both these areas. But it has not happened yet.
