Nobel Peace Prize Award Ceremony & Pictures of President Obama, First Lady Michelle, Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith

Here are pictures from the actual Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony which took place in Oslo, Norway on December 10, 2009.

As you guys recall, the Nobel committee awarded President Barack Obama the Peace Prize just 10 months into his Presidency, citing his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”. He is the third sitting U.S. president to receive the prize.

President Obama said that he planned to give away his $1.4 million prize to charity! How cool & awesome is he….I mean really?
