I'm amused to see Weil's name again in "... the Taniyama-Weil conjecture..." in light of http://www.ams.org/notices/199511/forum.pdf When I first learned about the conjecture in the early 1990s it was always the "Taniyama-Shimura-Weil" conjecture; when Taylor-Wiles mostly proved it, Lang for some reason argued strongly to excise Weil's name from it, and so it was in much of the literature since. Congrats to all the winners!
