New Line Has Oscar Hopes for Serkis’ Gollum
It looks like the Academy will get a chance to make up for their pathetic fuck-up in failing to award the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar to Walsh, Boyens, and Jackson last year (A Beautiful Mind? Hello??), by giving a Best Supporting Actor nomination (or heck; the actual statue) to Andy Serkis for his invisible-yet-destined-to-be-unforgettable portrayal of Gollum in the upcoming TTT. Which is a cool idea: that an actor could be honored for a role in which not one scrap of the actual actor ever appears on screen. Here’s hoping, anyway. 26 days and counting…

It is just a matter of time before computer animatited characters will get Oscars every year.
We should start with Gollum!
My hat’s off to actor Andy Serkis and the animators who took the motion capture footage of him and created the character.
Bravo!
