Summary

Tom Hanks, returning as Woody in Toy Story 5, argues that the Oscars do not need a separate category for voice acting. He believes voice actors are already eligible for Best Actor/Actress awards since the criteria judges any performance that moves the audience. Hanks cites Andy Serkis as an example of a voice actor whose work could compete in existing categories.
