Clair Obscur Cast Urges The Game Awards to Add Motion-Capture and Supporting Categories

The push follows a record haul of nominations for the game, with lead actors up for performance honors.

Overview

  • In a VGC interview, Jennifer English, Shayla Nyx, Devora Wilde, and Aliona Baranova called for new performance categories recognizing motion-capture artists and supporting roles.
  • Baranova argued that motion-capture performers often lose public credit when separate voice tracks are layered over their physical performances.
  • She said a dedicated motion-capture award could encourage studios to release behind-the-scenes capture footage that audiences rarely see.
  • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 became the most-nominated game in The Game Awards' history, with Ben Starr, Charlie Cox, and Jennifer English receiving performance nods.
  • Cox previously said any recognition for his role should be shared with motion-capture performer Maxence Carzole.
