Oscar for Gollum. Now!
No less an authority than Time has now called for an Oscar for Gollum. This is something I spent a great deal of time harping about ever since I first watched the second installment. In fact, I did part-expect that Gollum would get a nomination for best supporting actor in 2003. Anyway, here's Time's demand.
So poignant are Gollum's turbid emotions, and so persuasively is this computer critter integrated with the live performers, that he deserves a special acting Oscar for Best ... Thing.
Thing? Though I would prefer supporting actor, thing would work just as well, I guess. I cannot wait to see Shelob, who if rumours are to be believed, is about as good as Smeagol itself.
