tell this to an animator and i bet he will punch you in the face. i am no joking. t:a good animator knows everything about human. animators are in a way actors .^I'm not following why you wouldn't be able to award motion capture actors. Clearly they would have to implement rules and regulations (just like they do for every category in the academy). Its also clear that it is not fair to lump them alongside live action actors since, as you said, animators sometimes add to a mo-cap performance; therefore giving them their own category while implementing proper criteria would be best. They could call it Best Digital Performance (or something similar) and yes it would award both the performer as well as the SFX team behind the work. I think a great digital performance is more than just photorealistic animation. The performer and the SFX team have to work harmoniously to create a digital character that feels authentic. Sure, the actor's performance might be used as a reference, but it still requires an understanding of human emotions and facial expressions in order for animators to properly convey this onto the screen.
should they create a new category? hard to say. then they also need to create a category for best prosthetic performance.
then of course you have a problem. you dont have every year 5 good digital performances.
