Recently, actor Charlie Cox reacted to his nomination for Best Performance in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 by saying the credit should also be shared with the performance-capture actor, Maxence Cazoria. Now, Cazoria has said he's receiving an outpouring of support after Cox spoke up, saying what Cox said about him was "incredibly generous."
"Thank you for all the messages these past few days. Charlie's words were incredibly generous, and I'm truly grateful," Cazoria said. "Bringing Gustave to life was a team effort, and I'm honored to have played my part in it. Thank you all so much for the love and support. Tomorrow comes."
Cox said he was "thrilled" to be nominated, adding that Cazoria should get the credit. "I believe the performance of that character is really down to him and my voice was just a part of that process," he said.
Cox was nominated for Best Performance alongside two other Expedition 33 actors, including Ben Starr and Jennifer English. Erika Ishii was nominated for Ghost of Yotei, Konatsu Kato for Silent Hill f, and Troy Baker for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
The Best Performance award is not just for voice-acting, as it also includes motion- and/or performance-capture. Given that, it would appear that Cazoria would have been eligible, too.
Expedition 33 led all others this year with 12 total nominations, including a nod for Game of the Year. With 12 nominations, that makes it the most-nominated game in the history of The Game Awards.
The Game Awards take place on Thursday, December 11, but it's expected there there will be teases ahead of that, so keep checking back with GameSpot for the latest.
