His performance in High Fidelity earned him the only Golden Globe nomination of his career. While he has not amassed a shelf of competitive trophies, his influence on Generation X cinema is undeniable, and his 2012 Hollywood Walk of Fame star recognizes his lasting contribution to the film industry.
