This one has been likely for quite a few years now, it's a shame they didn't award it in the 1980s (after Aspect's experiment) when Bell was still alive. Bell, Clauser and Aspect would have been a nice Trio, and quite a tidy award too.
Zeilinger has done amazing experiments, but a little more involved compared to the simplicity of the Bell tests that Clauser and Aspect did.
