I don't think they do it. Pretty sure. Probably with good reason, if you could each year in physics whoever was considered for it would be trumped by Newton. Not 100% sure though.

Nobel Prizes are not awarded posthumously, if there has ever been an exception I am at present unable to find such but will continnue to look. Ghandi did not receive one after 5 nominations Einstein did not with 11 nominations But Gore did , it makes one wonder . Einstein did receive a Prize finally in 1921 EDIT

From 1974, the Statutes of the Nobel Foundation have stipulated that a Prize cannot be awarded posthumously, unless death has occurred after the announcement of the Nobel Prize. This happened in 1996 when William Vickrey died only a few days after the announcement of the Prize in Economics. Before 1974, the Nobel Prize has only been awarded posthumously twice: to Dag Hammarskjöld (Nobel Peace Prize 1961) and Erik Axel Karlfeldt (Nobel Prize in Literature 1931)

See below: Krugman’s Posthumous Nobel This year’s prize in economics goes to an economist who died a decade ago. By Donald Luskin Prior to 2008 the Nobel Prize had never been awarded posthumously. So great minds such as John Maynard Keynes and Fischer Black never received the coveted award. But all that has changed. This year, the prize for economics is going to Paul Krugman, an economist who died a decade ago.
