Hemingway �s Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech (double E)

1) I agree with omarengteacher, but you can say Ernest Hemingway �s Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech. It �s a speech that he made, so you use the possessive/genitive.
 
2) I would say Ernest Hemingway Facts and Quotes because EH is being used as an adjective to describe Facts. The facts pertain to him; they don �t belong to him. If Quotes stood alone, you could use the possessive again.
