I know he did the voice and motion of Gollum, so he's able to do voices and all...but I don't understand what makes him so amazing. I just can't get onboard. Did I miss something? Is it just from the success of LotR?
Who does give a shit anymore about the Oscars since many fantastic actors never won it (and probably never will) ? Andy Serkis might be the top of a long list.
Pinkaugust I agree! Christopher Nolan is definitely is one of the greatest, if not the greatest film maker of our time. Everything he's done is a masterpiece and/or movie of the year in the year it came out. Sadly he never got the recognition he deserves, especially for Inception and TDK. Hopefully this year with Interstellar they'll give him something. (Though I've not yet seen Interstellar but I'm sure it'll be awesome)
honestly speaking i think if am an actor i'll like to be on that list cause i mean everyone on there has a long lasting and much more impact on people which is what being a film maker is all about,plus they are celebrated and will be celebrated for generations and also its like they are kinda like rebels saying fuck you to this "authority" which is the oscars which thinks they like have the power to say who is the best.
Here's the reasons why Andy Serkis deserves more than one Oscar (and that one Oscar). 1. He played both King Kong AND Godzilla (so that means if we get another Godzilla vs. King Kong movie he's going to be fighting himself). 2. He's the master of motion capture performances. 3. He taught Benedict Cumberbatch (and many others) how to use motion capture (in this case to play a dragon). 4. He's one of the only Marvel villains who hasn't died... yet. 5. He's going to make one of the best films with "Origins" in the title (trust me it's basically a death wish now a days). 6. He's most likely going to get one in 2018 for the first film he 100% directed (the other being parts of the Hobbit trilogy) 7. The Imaginarium Studios
+HonorAmongScars He didn't play Godzilla. He was consulted and only did the motion capture for his eyes. Which is why we got such realistic expressions from Godzilla. And we are getting a Godzilla vs King Kong movie. And just because he played King Kong in the past does not mean he'd be playing him again. But I think he should portray King Kong again, He did better than fantastic on it. But with everything else you listed here, Yes. I agree fully.
HonorAmongScars Yeah, They are! :D Also, it's possible Godzilla might make a cameo in Pacific rim 2 or 3. The director/creator of it says he'd like to have Godzilla have a cameo.
+Damon242 For the Saturn Awards they have one called the "Best Virtual Performance Award" which Serkis has won more than anyone. Honestly if the Oscars don't do the same then they'll just become less and less relevant.
+Damon242 No motion capture is the same as normal acting. The digitization is the same as wearing a suit/make-up. So they just should be included in the normal actor/actress categorize (as Andy Serkis likes to see it as well).
The best thing about Andy is when He does a voice. He BECOMES the character he is portraying. Just look at his face when he goes from Smeagol to Caesar. You can tell just by his facial expressions. Andy is a fucking legend
Andy serkis deserves a million Oscars. The talent and ability to portray nonhuman characters is beyond what any other actor can do. It's about time he gets recognized for his hard work!
This man is so damn talented and doesn't receive enough credit. His characters are brought to life so well that most people forget it's him that has to put emotion into that character not just CGI.
Reading the comments it is insane how many people just think that andy serkis is a voice actor. When he plays these characters, not only does he do the voice, but almost every movement you see by the character is captured motion from his acting on set, from large body motions to small facial twitches. Granted, the animators will add a bit here or there, but Andy Serkis is a legend.
I love when voice actors make their different characters talk to each together. Idk why but it's like both inner fan boys of what ever characters are talking both have nerdgasms at the same time and I don't quite know how to react.
Andy has done many great characters, but Gollum is just his best, no doubt. It's almost scary how he makes that voice......a big part of the greatness that is LOTR :)
WTF? I´ve always thought Gollum´s and Caesar´s voices were altered with computer effects but it´s 100% real! Andy can speak ape languages too! UNBELIEVABLE!
Saying "Cool shoes" is not the same as saying "Man I wanna fuck that dude in his butt hole" Saying no homo at the end of either one of them still gets the same result though.
Watching Andy Serkis do the voice of Gollum is always mind blowing... It never gets old... Makes you wish that character had his own sitcom: "The Gollum and Smeagle Show."
One of the best actors around, I hope people realise all, his facial expressions that appear on screen are his, CGI is used but he really is the character being captured using motion capture. He deserves a lot of credit.
Quite a talent this gentleman has. Does he actually do all three character voices in different movies? They sound exactly spot on. Thanks for entertainment I’m bringing those smiles from the movie theater or home. Keep going and thank you.
Andy Serkis has to be the most underrated actor working today, what he does in bringing characters like Gollum an Caesar to life is incredible, he has to be recognised at the Oscars this year, he was spellbinding in Dawn.
OH EM GEE! I dont love that much the Gollum/Smeagol character but that is one helluva impression! I thought the sound was tweaked with a computer or something... But he really does it in real life! Very very impressed.
+wayzhc actually they hired him for the voice and were going to not use motion capture however serkis got so much in to the character and became gollum that peter jackson had to base everything around serkis, the model of gollum changed completely into the structure or andy serkis's face and the monkey like movements all cane from serkis
It's really quite nice to know Andy is in Star Wars The Force Awakens. He is slowly becoming my favorite actor, next to Christian Bale and Tom Cruise. His work ethic and willingness to delve into character is really extraordinary.
Thing one: My face grinned uncontrollably while Andy Serkis whipped out the Gollum voice. Thing two: As of writing this comment, there are 15 comments, and more half of them are making a "First!" joke* or some derivative thereof. *may or may not include actual humor.
Andy Serkis could fill out a whole main cast for a movie or short film in animation or motion capture with the range that he has the man is brilliant one of my all time favourite actors
i just saw kingdom of the planet of the apes and loved it! i cant wait for a 5th movie now! i would love if andy serkis returns and actually plays the human astronaut
Happy birthday Andy Serkis. I love Star Wars Episode 7 The Force Awakens, Episode 8 The Last Jedi, Episode 9 The Rise Of Skywalker, and Flushed Away. Seriously awesome. I respect and support u. May the Peace be with u Supreme Leader Snoke. From Harlingen Texas. April 20, 1964 April 20, 2022 through April 20, 3022
speaking of Oscars, Jackie Chan finally has one "After 56 Years in the Industry and Over 200 Films, Jackie Chan ‘Finally’ Gets His Oscar" people.com/movies/jackie-chan-honorary-oscar/
I didn't know this guy was this talented. I had never even heard his normal accent. Quite soothing to hear. And that Golum voice was unedited? Damn it. He has a new fan.
Damn, Andy Serkis is so under appreciated! The way he changed from one character to another so easily and the fact that he does Gollum all by himself, like it's all his voice... Man, that's real talent!
And this is how you get the ladies. Imagine if his inner Gollum / Smeagol comes out while having sex. Hell, even a nice battlecry from Caesar! Andy Serkis rocks.
Motion capture is one of the most physically demanding parts in acting...... At the same time, it represents a deeper way to get inside a role. Seriously, I know it's not that common (that's why it would be hard that it became a new category in some award ceremonies, because not many movies would deserve a domination each year), but at the very least an actor like him deserves a honorary Oscar or something similar, for such an incredible body of work over the years.
I love the evolution of Andy's career, he really has been at the forefront of mocap technology and all because he started with that brilliant performance in Lotr that he put his heart and soul (and body) into.
@@aaravshah4432 Unfortunately nope, still a tough business out there, been mainly doing theatre stage productions. But who knows maybe one day soon. :)
The King of Motion Capture and an underrated actor
A VERY underrated actor. Andy Serkis is amazing.
Extremely underrated, the man is a legend!
Benjamin Acheson ACCLAMATION OVERFLOW ERROR!He's an overrated piece of literal shit!
Baboochka He should be credited much more after Star Wars Episode 7.
Benjamin Acheson Academy, shut your pretentious mouths and give this man an Oscar!!!!!
He is so convincing with the voices! Gollum is his greatest character in my opinion
I know, there are so many layers that went into his voice acting for Gollum it's astounding.
+LordofFullmetal its also his facial expressions that make gollum so great
Jordan Blanchard smeagol is better
think of the ring tone or so of his voice if u dont like someone that come up
Andy Serkis is brilliant.
You should draw Andy Serkis next! :) p.s love your vids
Loved your drawings, keep on the good work!
Draw me like one of your french girls. ;)
I know he did the voice and motion of Gollum, so he's able to do voices and all...but I don't understand what makes him so amazing. I just can't get onboard. Did I miss something? Is it just from the success of LotR?
Thomas Davis He seems like a nice, jolly fellow. No reason not to enjoy such a guy.
Wow. Amazing to see him switch so effortlessly between those characters on the fly. Dude has incredible talent.
Not really, it's all CGI
He is such an underrated freakin' GENIUS.
so true
underrated? even overrated is an understatement.

Deimos I agree

Don't forget Robert Downey Jr!
Jacob Albers dont forget Nicholas Cage:Oscar for most underrated comedian
Too bad there isn't a category for voice acting and Motion Capture in the Oscars....
Right? It's such a shame, as there are a lot of great voice over actors and motion capture people.
There should be one for voice actors but not motion capture...
yet there is for stuff like make up... and not the lord of the rings urukhai make up. fuckin meryl streep make up. why, who even cares
Biggest oversight in the universe, this is the future of movies people
There is: it's called the Acting awards
Gollum calling Caesar? guess he gave him a ring
We sees what you did's there, Precious.
+Andrew Hager he would never give his precious :}
I would like this but its at 69 likes and I dont want to ruin that. Good one
***** take away a man's 69, take away a man's life... a man's... precious...

This is brilliant!
So um...how’s the acquisition going if you...um... don’t mind me asking. You know finally see Wolverine and Deadpool with Hulk and Spidey.
Get this man an Oscar

Also, it's possible Godzilla might make a cameo in Pacific rim 2 or 3. The director/creator of it says he'd like to have Godzilla have a cameo.
Acid Gamer Why didn't Guillermo make one again? From what I remembered he was supposed to direct the 2014 film.
HonorAmongScars If you mean if Guillermo directed King Kong or Godzilla, he didn't. He directed Pacific Rim. and there's a sequel in the works.
I wanna see Andy Serkis play the Joker.
+Andrea Diagbouga You know, what? That's not a bad idea. I'm good with Jared Leto for now, but man, that'd be something to see.
+Andrea Diagbouga
He voiced Cicero in Skyrim, so he could.
+The Nightingale *mind fucking blown* WHAT?
Ma4zu6
Yep.
The Nightingale
Actually just checked it and Andy MORRIS is credited as Cicero on IMBD, not Andy Serkis.
They should introduce a 'special acting perfomance' category in the Academy Awards, and involve motion-capture and voice-acting.
It should probably be called "the Andy Serkis Award"
+Damon242 For the Saturn Awards they have one called the "Best Virtual Performance Award" which Serkis has won more than anyone. Honestly if the Oscars don't do the same then they'll just become less and less relevant.
+Damon242 Should be best Actor Lead/Supporting
+Damon242 No motion capture is the same as normal acting. The digitization is the same as wearing a suit/make-up. So they just should be included in the normal actor/actress categorize (as Andy Serkis likes to see it as well).
+Damon242 why? so andy searches can win as long as he live? no other actor comes close to his level of motion capture acting.
The best thing about Andy is when He does a voice. He BECOMES the character he is portraying. Just look at his face when he goes from Smeagol to Caesar. You can tell just by his facial expressions. Andy is a fucking legend
I can do that too, even though I'm not an actress like Andy Serkis.
@@georgianageaninapopa7554Ok bud
Andy looks so happy with where he is in his life.
So proud of him.
Andy serkis deserves a million Oscars. The talent and ability to portray nonhuman characters is beyond what any other actor can do. It's about time he gets recognized for his hard work!
Serkis' Gollum voice is just so extraordinary. Not just dialogue but the sounds that he makes. Incredible actor!
i get such a thrill from seeing him do his gollum voice
I wonder does he use gollums voice for prank calls ,ha it would be so funny if he did .
+Terry Kane damn we should ask him
This man is so damn talented and doesn't receive enough credit. His characters are brought to life so well that most people forget it's him that has to put emotion into that character not just CGI.

WTF? I´ve always thought Gollum´s and Caesar´s voices were altered with computer effects but it´s 100% real! Andy can speak ape languages too! UNBELIEVABLE!
I heard that they mixed real chimpanze sound with Andy’s voice in order to achieve ‘No!’ screaming scene in the first movie
I'm totally straigh but c'mon... he's absolutely magnificent!
yeah, andy serkis is amazing, no homo.
+Travis Penn I keep thinking the same thing everytime I see these comments. Must be a fad.
"Good job man.....no homo" ok?
darude- sandstorm
Saying "Cool shoes" is not the same as saying "Man I wanna fuck that dude in his butt hole" Saying no homo at the end of either one of them still gets the same result though.

I had a nerdgasm when he made Gollum and Caesar talk.
SAME!
Bro what?💀💀
It is high time performance capture should be given another category in the Oscars , giving the high rise of such performances in the film industry
Wow, this bastard is talented!! Hope to see him in more roles!
The dude's going to be in the new Star Wars and has a role in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Wish Granted.
OH EM GEE! I dont love that much the Gollum/Smeagol character but that is one helluva impression! I thought the sound was tweaked with a computer or something... But he really does it in real life! Very very impressed.
Yep. He was hired BECAUSE of the voice; Serkis invented the sound himself based on Gollum's character and the sound of his cats hacking up hairballs.
+wayzhc actually they hired him for the voice and were going to not use motion capture however serkis got so much in to the character and became gollum that peter jackson had to base everything around serkis, the model of gollum changed completely into the structure or andy serkis's face and the monkey like movements all cane from serkis
It's rare to see actors act in character outside of their movies. Andy rocks!
It's really quite nice to know Andy is in Star Wars The Force Awakens. He is slowly becoming my favorite actor, next to Christian Bale and Tom Cruise. His work ethic and willingness to delve into character is really extraordinary.

This guy has some serious acting chops. I don't what chops are exactly, but he has them.
"Fat hobbit is always so polite."
Andy Serkis is the man. :)
I can't get enough of Andy when he does Gollum's voice. Especially seeing how much fun he has with it.
He needs to definitely receive an Oscar just for being an amazing motion capture actor and voice actor.
The way he can just turn into those two characters is amazing. He does it so well!
