I don't know who the other candidates were. They were probably worthy. I believe Gore was worthy too.
This movie has significantly raised awareness to some of the reasons/issues/significance of global warming. Many still scoff at the notion, but many more have now heard about global-warming, thanks to a well-done informational video (it could've been better, though). It sparks conversations, if nothing else. This can lead to knowledge, and even action. That was the goal, and the movie delivered.

How is Gore worthy of the Peace prize? I can see other optional prizes being awarded:
- Best political commercial/fund-raiser video.
- Best use of tobacco crop subsidy payments.
- Best presentation of some of the facts, few realistic solutions and no consequences of such solutions.
- Best stealth primary campaign.
- Best swooning by liberal media.
But Peace Prize? It demeans the intent of such a prize.
