Serkis was a supporting actor in Dawn? I would assume he'd get a leading actor Oscar if anything.

Well I think the Academy should recognise Serkis as an actor. Rather see him get a leading nomination but if he does get one I reckon they may give him a supporting for the sake of it.

I don't recall the Academy ever putting leading actors of films in supporting actor award nominations though. Why would they do it for the sake of it? He isn't good enough to be considered a lead? That movie was about CAESAR. Caesar had the most screentime.

Well I think he was good enough but because of the taboo around performance capture I feel they may try to downgrade him to supporting. I hope they wouldn't do that though.
