Fosse been shortlisted by oddsmakers for the Nobel Prize several years in a row:

""It isn't every playwright who gets a hotel suite named after them, particularly when they're still breathing. But Fosse is no ordinary playwright. One of Norway's most famous writers, he is also perhaps Europe's most-performed living dramatist, translated into 40-odd languages. In 2010, he won the biggest prize in global theatre, the 275,000 Ibsen award, three years after being awarded France's Ordre National du Mrite; before the Nobel prize for literature was awarded in October, there was a flurry of excitement when it looked like 2013 might be Fosse's year (it turned out to be Alice Munro's instead)."" -The Guardian
