    It is unfortunate that many animated movies (CG or otherwise) use celebrity actors rather than professional voice actors. There are many talented professional voice actors and they do not get the roles because their names do not draw people to the box office - even though their performances would likely be superior to that of celebrity actors.

    That Andy Serkis didn't get nominated for best supporting actor speaks to how out of touch the accademy awards are.
