While officially it is kept secret, the short list is "known" by those "in the know". To the public, it's a secret. If asked, the committee swears it's a secret.... but that's a ruse. The big boys know.

No one can keep a secret for 9mo in the world those people live in.
I'm sure they were caught up in the election and celebrity status. It's said that he doesn't have voters...but fans. I believe this. Many thought he would litterally bring a massive sweaping change. Tax policy, health care, Gitmo, war on terror etc. Now 9 mo later the honeymoon is over and I'm sure they couldn't pull back.
I really like the idea of awarding it when deserved. Not annually. Maybe 2x a year if warranted but not every year just because...
These folks need poeple to kiss their ass so there will be one every year.

Barack Obama Commemorative Solid Sterling Silver Diamond Pendant NecklaceThe Bradford Exchange
Express Ship Available!
Available in Installments!
$79.00 US
THIS is freakin SWEET! When I saw it I couldn't click on the link fast enough. I can even make installment payments, which is good since I already owe my meth dealer $30. I ordered it Next Day Air (too bad they don't have same day air).
When the package arrived, I immediately tore it open and the "Bling" blinded me and I stumbled backwards and passed out for 5 hours. After coming too, I played my favorite Kanye song on repeat and approached the glimmering box with caution. GOD it is magnificent! I donned my "No Fat Chicks" T-shirt and Barack Obama Commemorative Solid Sterling Silver Diamond Pendant and went out into the word a new man.
Now that he has won the Nobel Peace Prize, I can only imagine the response I get from the ladies down at the Wal-Mart when I go to work tonight. When I wear the pennant, I feel that I, too, have won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Thank You Barack Obama!!!!!

All joking aside, and that's pretty hard to do with today's news, there is a dark side to this ridiculous award announcement and subsequent acceptance. That there probably are a dozen or more people that are very deserving of the award, people that have risked their lives, their property and quite possibly their family's lives in the pursuit of peace. I can think of a few and I'll bet they would put the prize money to great use in their struggle.
While I keep hearing Obama didn't ask for this, and I heard him say he didn't deserve it, and knowing there are people out there who do, I think our President made a colossal blunder by not thanking them for the honor and politely refusing to accept it. Class took a back seat to ego today, which seems to be the post script on many of Obama's endeavors.

Just a to begin with....You people are pathetic. Let the man have his day in the sun, for fuck's sake.
The Nobel Peace Prize IS, and always has been, a left-wing, hippie, feel-good fest.
Here's a list of winners in the past 20 years (I'm sure there's noone on the list you righties would consider "important", anyway)
2009: U.S. President Barack Obama
2008: Martti Ahtisaari
2007: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Al Gore
2006: Muhammad Yunus, Grameen Bank
2005: International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei
2004: Wangari Maathai
2003: Shirin Ebadi
2002: Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter
2001: United Nations, Kofi Annan
2000: Kim Dae-jung
1999: Medecins Sans Frontieres
1998: John Hume, David Trimble
1997: International Campaign to Ban Landmines
1996: Carlos Filipe Ximenes Belo
1995: Joseph Rotblat, Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs

1983: Lech Walesa
1982: Alva Myrdal, Alfonso Garcia Robles
1981: Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees
1980: Adolfo Perez Esquivel
See? Nobody important, just a bunch of foreign-sounding names (probably all camel jockeys, right?). Move along. Nothing for you righties here. NO warmongers, no bloodthirsty ex-Presidents from Texas. Just a bunch of people who wanted to make the world a better place (gag).
Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin
...I rest my case.

Like I said, the nobel prize for peace is a political football.... nothing more. It has nothing to do with actual achievement.
Al Gore is a perfect example.

Einstein won it for physics, not the peace prize. the peace prize is a JOKE.

I muscled my way through "Milk". What a complete piece of shit that movie was. I guess the main character was worthy as the subject for a movie, but the one they made was unwatchable during it's best moments. Penn's performance was almost as laughable as when he went "full retard" in I am Sam. I could hardly wait for him to get shot by the end of that piece of garbage... and that was the only scene that didn't disappoint.

Actually, this is wrong. The possible candidates are kept secret. There's no way Obama knew he was in the running. You know you just made this up Cracker. Be honest.

You'll believe in 9/11 conspiracies, Dick Cheney is the anti-Christ, but God-no there's NO possible way things like this could ever get leaked ahead of time.

No, they don't leak things.... it's all kept locked away next to Obama's Birth certificate.
It's always Christmas for the naive...... everything is a surprise.

Didn't see the movie but I did hear a discussion on Harvey Milk. He was actually honorably discharged as a lieutenant from the Navy. I don't know if that is consistent with the movie but somehow I doubt it.
