I seriously doubt the Academy members have the guts to nominate him. The first time this voice versus performance thing came up was thirty years ago, when Linda Blair was nominated for "The Exorcist" even though the character actress Mercedes McCambridge provided the possessed Reagan's creepy voice. The Academy got a lot of bad press for that, and it's ignored voice performances ever since. Frankly, I think it's more likely that you'll see someone nominated for their work in a strictly animated film, though God knows when that will be. (I thought Eddie Murphy deserved a BSA nod for doing Donkey.) It's a shame, because Andy Serkis did a hell of a job with Gollum; he deserves the recognition.

Yes, But Andy Serkis wasn't just voice acting. He was actually acting the part - twice. The computer guys just covered him in pixels. It's still 'him'.

Maybe he should rock up like this:
