James Franco : 'Oscars Should Recognise Serkis'
Former Oscars host James Franco has urged Academy Awards voters to seriously consider his Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes co-star Andy Serkis for a Best Actor prize - because the work the Brit is doing with motion capture animation is amazing.
Serkis shot to fame when he was transformed into the creepy Gollum in the Lord of The Rings trilogy and he has since given King Kong and Planet of The Apes' Caesar a face - and Franco insists his pioneering work will revolutionise Hollywood.
The 127 Hours star says, "To me, it seems like such a shame that Andy doesn't get recognised now, because this is the moment when he's really broken through... He's doing it (motion picture) better than anyone else on the planet... What he does is real acting."
