Unlikely. Attribution in this case is a very thorny issue. People have been discussing it for decades.
There may yet be an experimental prize, especially once the experimental work at LHC is complete. From a physics perspective, LHC has only just begun. For the Higgs alone, its spin has not yet been conclusively measured; it's an important parameter.

I guess the committee thought the theory was a more important achievement than the prove.

Even one jury member (Anders Barany) publicly stated his own doubts on the subject: http://www.khaleejtimes.com/kt-article-display-1.asp?xfile=d...
