Happy birthday, Idris Elba!


Idris Elba, born September 6, 1972 in London, England, is an actor who has racked up multiple acting awards and nominations.  He is mostly known for his role as DCI Luther in the British mystery series Luther, but I like him as Heimdall in the Thor and Avengers movies.

One of his earliest roles was as a hustler on Absolutely Fabulous with Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley in 1995.  He has appeared in Star Trek Beyond, The Wire, and Pacific Rim.  He has been nominated for 5 Primetime Emmys and 4 Golden Globes for his performance on Luther, and won the Golden Globe in 2012 for Best Actor in a Television Series.  

Why has this man not been nominated for an Oscar?  Why?
