Technically true. I, too, was surprised when I first realized that fact.

I see it a bit differently, tho. Gore was considered the prime mover of the project, and as such, has a legitimate claim to a part of Oscar.

And his valedictory magazine cover suggests which part of Oscar that would be. (Or is Oscar gender-neutral?) ;)

My bet is that the androgenous Oscar is on Guggenheim's mantel, and all Al Gore got was a stupid 8 x 10 glossy and a boatload of fake publicity. But it's all about image, isn't it?
