What I understand from a friend is that the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce select around 25 people a year and these 25 are supposedly ‘nominated’ usually by publicists or wealthy friends. Then if they want to go ahead with the star they are personally charged $30k.
So it could be he hasn’t been nominated till now or was earlier in life but wasn’t interested at the time in coughing up $30k for essentially a tile with his name on it 😛
