Seems like most have been to observational astronomers, and experimental solid state people generally.

Would it be possible for a physicist whose main focus in research was computational to win a Nobel Prize?

There are a handful of theoretical condensed matter physicists who have gotten the Nobel Prize. I'm sure there was some computational work involved in their research.
