Please teach me all the subtle nuances of the three sentences. Even learner's dictionaries just say whether it is countable or uncountable, not the delicate shades of meaning.

There are no subtle nuances here. Everything is glaringly obvious.

anonymousAnd the talk of a Nobel Prize for Trump is fueling a heated controversy.

You have three capitalization mistakes here, and also in your other two sentences, but otherwise the sentence is correct.

anonymousAnd the talk of a nobel prize for trump is fueling a heated a controversy.

Here you have two determiners for the same noun phrase (heated controversy). This is a mistake.

anonymousAnd the talk of a nobel prize for trump is fueling a heated controversies.

Here you have a singular determiner meaning "one" combined with a plural noun, which means there is "more than one". Using these two elements together is a contradiction. This is also a mistake.
