Gandalf introducing Gollum. Legendary!

[vars]

Sad that Oscars don't recognize mocap acting. He should be on his 3rd Oscar nomination by now.

[sspdirect]

Gollum, Kong, Caesar, Snoke, Captain Haddock, Ulysses Klaue and Alfred Pennyworth.

When he said that they met 20 years ago filming LOTR I suddenly grew a long white beard and felt I needed a cane to walk.

[bushcraftnorway]

"Welcome the most agile actor in London"
*Comes in on crutches*

[sherrillsmith]

FINALLY! Recognition for one of the best actors working anywhere: Andy Serkis!! His work is so memorable that many of us leave the theaters already having memorized bits of dialog, whether he's portraying Gollum or Supreme Leader Snoke. He must be one of the most creative and visionary actors in the past several decades in his renowned ability to envision possibilities and go beyond preconceived limits of spandex ware, countless tracking dots applied on his face and frame to capture his motion, and the many other incarnations he has made real and often, more human and humane - thinking of Caesar - that the real thing. Like many others, I am so glad for him to receive this recognition!.

His whole family, wife, and kids tearing up of love and pride over their father. Very touching. Brought tears to my eyes.

Andy is a criminally underrated actor and deserves every award under the sun. It's ridiculous that he isn't recognised for his incredible work more often.

[agniswarmookerjee]

If only he looked at his bafta and said “My precious” at the end of his speech.

[jasonbarron]

the pride in the eyes of his kids tho i mean his youngest son was fighting back tears bless him, imagine your kids being so proud of you like that what a feeling that must be eh folks!! well deserved to such a fantastic down to earth actor and family man x

[chriscross]

He deserves another BAFTA for that acceptance speech where in 90 seconds he concisely thanks everyone who he believes needed thanking for helping him achieve his dreams and goals.

[aeonlincoln]

"No higher than Frodo's buckle" LMAO The timing was perfect.

[BirdBoy]

Finally, Andy Serkis getting the recognition he has deserved for so long!

[martinimornings]

"I've only got 90 seconds...eighty now..."what on earth kind of treatment is that? I'd love to hear them both without a man with a whip and a stopwatch lurking behind them...

[MackofejFTW]

For those who doesn't know, he was only supposed to do voice acting for Gollum but the creators were so amazed by Andy who literally morphed into the character they decided to go with the Mocap :) Congrats Andy, you are the best

[Poetic_Justice]

If anyone deserves recognition for his acting, it's Andy Serkis. No better presenter of that recognition, than Gandalf the Grey.

[adampoll]

Damn, look at his kids crying with pride and joy!


This was an accolade well deserved and a long time coming.

[setakh]

Lets be real for a moment: Andy Serkis literally defined a new way we enjoy cinema. And it all started with Gollum who was bloody hell to act out due to his split personality to boot and he brought even more amazing charactres to the big screen since.

[joshpemberton]

At long last this genius is getting the recognition he he’s damn humble.

Thank you Mr Serkis

Andy deserved an Oscar nomination and a possible win for his performance as Gollum in both The Two Towers and The Return of the King. I guess the Academy was not willing to see his motion-capture performance as a "real" performance. One of the most underrated artists of all time.
