Awards - Best Actor/Actress, Best Supporting.... How about best duo?
What if a film has two main leads and they both give amazing performances. Why should one be judged to be thest best and another to be best supporting.
Why not have best duo or leads?
e.g. If De Niro and Pacino gave the performances of their lives in Heat and both deserved to be nominated and awarded Best Actor why not say, you guys are awarded the best leads.
btw, i'm aware that some awards do give an award for best ensemble cast.
PS. I've noticed the odd use of capitals in my post. No, I don't know why i've typed like that either

By that, I take it you mean motion capture performances, as opposed to, say, Buzz's 'performance' in Toy Story?
This was a big hoo-ha with Andy Serkis and Avatar, but I disagree. A 100% 'live' performance was performed exactly as you see on screen. With a CGI enhanced animation, anything that the actor didn't quite 'nail', such as expression, emotion, voice etc can easily be altered, so you can't be sure how much is digital FX and how much is actual acting.
LA Confidential is good reason for this. As Guy Pearce, Russell Crowe and Kevin Spacey all gave Oscar worthy performances, but with them all being in the same film there was an argument at the time they split the vote whereas if only one of them was that good they might have stood a chance.
What I mean is what if two males are the leads and both nominated.
They could have an award for Best Main Leads in a Film and both the actors win the award together.
No i mean animated voice over performances. It is still acting, but not doing in a physical way.
I agree that there should be a best ensemble cast Oscar
Too many times someone who gives an outstanding performance in a film alongside other outstanding performances get over looked.
