To my opinion Nobel committee did just the right thing. We know yet practically nothing about the decay modes of Higgs like particle to fermion pairs and it decays too fast to gamma pairs. It would be extremely stupid to give Nobel for the theoreticians who proposed Higs and within a year to learn that it was not Higgs after all.
In fact, I find it difficult to understand why some bloggers (Lubos, Resonaances) are so fanatic in their willingness to believe that the particle is Higgs. Science is about facts, not about pet beliefs.
