In the latest interview, movie star Tom Hanks affirmed that the Oscar organizers do not need to set up a separate category to honor voice actors.
The 69-year-old actor expressed: "In fact, a pure voice actor still has a complete chance to win the best actor award.

The "Big" movie star disagrees with separating dubbing work into a separate award at the Oscars. "I think the current number of categories is already more than enough.
The core of the award is any performance that touches the audience's emotions. Therefore, a voice actor can still win the best actor award if they do it," Tom Hanks shared on Gold Derby.
Tom Hanks' point of view carries a heavy weight because he not only owns two consecutive Oscar statuettes (in 1994 and 1995 for the leading roles in "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump") and 4 other nominations, but is also an official member of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) - the organization that votes for this award.
To prove this, Tom Hanks cited the case of Andy Serkis - famous for his motion-capture roles in blockbusters such as "The Lord of the Rings" or "Planet of the Apes".
We discussed a lot about Andy Serkis. Although he didn't directly appear on screen, he dedicated all the core expressive material to the role," Hanks analyzed.

In parallel with his massive film career, Tom Hanks is also the soul of one of the most popular animation brands in film history.
He has been associated with the role of cowboy Woody since the first movie "Toy Story" released in 1995. This billion-dollar brand gathers a cast of famous voice actors including Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Joan Cusack.
Sharing with Entertainment Weekly about the process of making the latest part, the actor confided: "Through 5 parts of the film, we still work in a familiar space: that microphone, that support and that crew. If you record me at any time during the time of this project, you will see that I always experience the same feeling of anxiety, pressure and physical demand. Almost nothing changes".
Animated blockbuster "Toy Story 5" is scheduled to premiere in theaters from June 19.
