Charlie Cox Redirects Game Awards Praise to Gustave's Mocap Actor

His remarks refocus attention on a category that recognizes voice work as well as performance capture.

Overview

  • Speaking at a La Conve/Animex panel in Mexico, Cox said any credit for his Best Performance nod should go to French actor Maxence Cazorla, who handled nearly all of Gustave's motion capture.
  • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 leads The Game Awards 2025 with 12 nominations, a show record, with castmates Ben Starr and Jennifer English also up for Best Performance.
  • Cox previously disclosed he recorded most of his dialogue in roughly a single four-hour session, a revelation that drew some fan criticism of his nomination.
  • Coverage notes Cazorla performed mocap for multiple Expedition 33 characters and provided voice work, including English and French for Esquie.
  • The Game Awards are scheduled for December 11 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with the Best Performance category defined to include voice, motion and performance capture.
