I am still looking for a credible source...

But I have found a lot of people who are claiming that Ben Stein has been put up for the Nobel Prize for the movie

All "put of for" means is that someone who on the committee chose to make the proposal, so it doesn't signify much. Except, perhaps, the increasing decadence of the Nobel Prize Committee ...

Fortunately for the Nobel Prize People...

It didn't come from them. No-One on the Prize Committee made such a proposal according to them (I think they finally responded a day ago to the assertion that Stein had been nominated - the reply was "For what exactly would he have been nominated?")

Ah, well then it's totally meaningless, like when news reporters say "some say" or "it is said," which simply means that someone, somewhere, has said something :)
