If the Oscar voters were the least bit adventurous, then Andy Serkis would get a best supporting actor nod for playing the big ape in ``King Kong.'' Even his Oscar-winning co-star Adrien Brody told
our film critic Bob Strauss that he thinks ``Kong may be one of the best leading men this year''
Serkis even did double duty, first acting opposite his co-stars during the filming -- creating a touching relationship with Naomi Watts' Ann Darrow -- then doing it again wearing motion-capture sensors to create the animated ape. Brody doesn't know how getting a nomination for Serkis would work _ and neither do I _ but it's time for the Academy to take some chances. When's the last time you saw that much love on the screen?
