Many feel like his best chance to be nominated was for his supporting role as Keaton in 1995 flick The Usual Suspects.
The film featured a star-studded cast including Benicio Del Toro, Kevin Spacey, Kevin Pollack, Chazz Palminteri, Giancarlo Esposito, Stephen Baldwin, and Suzy Amis.
It is centered around a sole survivor of a shoot-out who tells the story of how a notorious criminal influenced the events that began with five criminals meeting in a seemingly random police line-up.
