I had this conversation with a friend, he might get one since he's gotten older but I think he never got passed the "pretty face" and gets typecast in peoples minds so to speak.
He should have got for Legends of the Fall or a River Runs through It or even Interview with the Vampire, list could go on.
I think he just hasn't had the right movie yet.
Leo DiCaprio has the same issue, look at the Filmography, both Leo and Brad have many nominations but no win yet.
