Why did Acemoglu never win a Nobel Prize in economics?

I feel like almost every topic on development he is the leading name, and his works seem disruptive.

Are there some specific reasons? Is it probable that he is going to be laureate soon due to his contributions?

Laureates generally tend to be older and prizes tend to take their time. Card, one of last year's laureates, won the prize for work that in part goes back to the 90's. Not to mention that you of course always have to pick someone and at the same time forego picking everybody else who's also an excellent candidate.

That said, Acemoglu certainly contributes a lot and there's a good chance he gets one at some point.
