Just because you don't like a particular actor, it doesn't mean that they are untalented. He has been nominated for 2 academy awards. He's not the greatest actor ever, but you have to give the guy credit for what he has achieved.
being nominated for an academy award does not mean much in terms of discerning acting talent...
Kim BAsinger has an oscar, so that pretty much says it all.
Kevin Costner has a nomination.
Clooney has two nominations
Rene Zellweger has three including a win
Marisa Tomei has three noms including a win
Julia Roberts has three noms including a win
Hell even Will Smith has two nominations.
and none of them are particularly great actors, to name just a few
considering gary oldman does not even have a single nomination, i would not use the oscars has a reliable indicator of great acting talent
