I dont think he would. Acting is about the look just as much as talking.

[Sanis Prent]

I hope it doesn't happen...yikes.

[ReaperFett]

Anyway, shouldnt they work on getting the people with a chance the supporting actor nod?

[Marcus Telcontar]

If its as good as they are suggesting, then Special Effects Oscar, yes. But acting?????

Okay, even LOTR fanboy thinks that's a big stretch.

You would think so. But maybe they think that there will be no chance after McKelland got a nod last year? That Serkis (Gollum) is a new performance and should be placed forward?

There is the same chance of Serkis getting even nominated as there is of me drinking a six pack of Budweiser. And considering I have no idea where Budweiser can be got in Australia....

[Raymious]

well, i think that he did a good job and all but maybe getting an oscar is just going a little too far...

[Sanis Prent]

you THINK?

When your best line is "my prrreciousss", you shouldn't even come in the top 100 considerations for an academy award for acting!

I mean, Leo DiCaprio would have a better shot for his role in "What's eating Gilbert Grape". And thats because he really did seem retarded. I didn't know he wasn't until I saw him in something else. How do you make gollum a "revelolutionary performance"? Have you previously heard a gollum for reference?

Yarg the morons are advancing on the hill! Fix bayonets!

I doubt he will get nominated either, I think it will be a long time before a voice actor gets nominated for an acting role, now if they created an award for that then sure.

[Sanis Prent]

That wouldn't be a problem for me...but even then...I'd have reservations about nominating the voice of gollum, but its not an impossibility.

[imported_Ambrose Braeden]

i agree totally...he might be good at voices but might suck at acting...hey, he only had about 5 minutes in the whole first movie...

[Tyreal Dalarsco]

You have to remember that he didn't JUST do voice work.
He actualy acted the character and just got turned into CGI.
And, the fact he was only a VA was NOT the reason Jar-Jar wasn't nominated.
But, that goes without saying. . .

[ReaperFett]

But Ty, he didnt have to show emotions and so on. He had to walk and talk. Some actors big problem is the face

[Sanis Prent]

well seeing as Ahmed Best actually did move around and they mapped his movements digitally (the SAME thing they're doing with Gollum) I fail to see the point.
