Re:Wouldn't be fair. (Score 1)

Acting is more than speaking, it includes movement and posture as well. The fact that an entire team of people intepreted Serkis' performance and then modified it completely to suit their needs leads me to believe that it would be quite unfair to his competition to nominate him individually as an actor.

Agreed, it does take more than speaking, but then, Serkis' role extended well beyond just providing Gollum's voice. The movement, the posture -- it all belonged to hm.

It's hard to believe unless you check this behind-the-scenes featurette on the Lord of the Ring website, which gives you a pretty damn good look at how involved Serkis was in the process of creating Gollum...

Serkis involvement went WELL beyond the process of contributing a voice. It was closer to the level of puppeteering.
