I wouldn't say shocking. He's young by acting standards, he's just started to gain acclaim for dramatic roles (although Bagger Vance should have gotten more credit than it did), and he's returning to sci-fi which could actually hurt his chances (since some in the hollywood elite could see it as a safe-zone, rather than being the actor who redefines himself every role). It should be interesting, and unless he REALLY falls off, he'll get one, but it's still a good 10 years away at the earliest. I'd like to see him as an actor when he's in that older, wise stage.
Maybe by acting standards but not by music. He's been doing that for 21 years. Surely that would warrant something? First ever rap Grammy and all that. With the addition of 17 years of acting....I don't know. I'd say that's shocking! Its not as if he's bad at what he does. He's consistently in the most powerful lists and has recently topped it as well.
