Tom Hanks and Tim Allen on tech, Toy Story 5 and childhood
Tom Hanks says the Oscars don’t need a separate voice acting category because voice performances should be eligible to win Best Actor or Best Actress. “The judgment is any performance that moved you.”
abeedo.bsky.social24The counterargument is that since the Oscar voters will never nominate voice performance for any best actor or actress award, you might as well have some form of acknowledgement for them.
DirectorJake11I agree in theory but the Oscars would never nominate an actor for a voice performance
mrpaintervt.bsky.social8I agree and disagree. I agree that voice performance should be recognized at the same level than on-screen performance. I disagree that they shouldn't get a category, because the Academy would rather give a lifetime Oscar to Weinstein than nominate a voice-acting role or a MoCap role.
Graydon Webb7Okay but that’s easy for a big star who ALSO voice acts to say. Has Jim Cummings ever been nominated for an Oscar, Tom?
Sebastian Fawkes3I would Agree, but Let's face It, The Oscars Never have, and Never Will do That.
The WillestFox2I see where he’s coming from on principle, voice actors are actors. But the Academy will never give a voice actor the ward if they’re up against live-action. So if we want to award voice actors, they’ll need their own award. They’ll probably still give the awards to A-List stunt cast though.

every toy story movie after the first one has been like "ok this time we REALLY gotta grow out of our old toys" so it's funny that toy story 5 trailers have been like "actually please stop playing roblox and ignoring woody and buzz, kids"
Tred73remember when disney made a deal to license their characters to openAI
insightfulparasite.bsky.social31After watching the trailer out of morbid curiosity it does feel weird knowing for a fact they will likely attempt to merchandise that froggy ipad protector.
Sweet KT 🏁🏴☠️🏳️⚧️6Meanwhile there's 30-40 year olds still buying and playing with toys so the message has been utterly lost on multiple generations
Angel4but also "here's buzz and woody in fortnite"
