Nobel concert host, US actor Denzel Washington speaks at a press conference before the concert in honor of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo in Oslo, Norway Saturday Dec. 11, 2010. Friday's Nobel prize ceremony marked the the first time in 74 years the prestigious $1.4 million award was not handed over, because Liu is serving an 11-year sentence in China on subversion charges for urging sweeping changes to Beijing's one-party communist political system.
