Assuming he didn't get the nomination, why do you think he didn't?

Cause most of Hollywood behind the scenes are great big fat people.

I think he wasn't nominated because the character of Jame Gumb/Buffalo Bill made people too uncomfortable in 1991not because of the character's violent nature (Anthony Hopkins got the best actor award playing a cannibalistic serial killer, after all), but because of the character's sexual identity issue and the controversy surrounding it.
Also, as terrific as Ted Levine's performance is, it's a
weird
performance. For example, I think the "Goodbye Horses" dance scene is brilliant, but I could easily imagine a conservative academy voter watching it, wondering what the hell was going on, and immediately shutting off his or her VCR.
