Voice Acting Award For The Oscars?

An OP/ED piece from Variety talks about Ellen DeGeneres's performance as Dory in Disney's 'Finding Dory' and criticizing the Academy Awards for never recognizing voice acting.

Quote the article:
"Don’t expect her to get any awards recognition at the end of the year. That’s because Oscars have never once nominated a vocal performance in the acting categories. Although members of the Academy can vote for them, and studios have occasionally campaigned for actors for their voice work (such as Jennifer Jason Leigh in last year’s “Anomalisa”), Academy voters have been too rigid to actually celebrate acting in an animated film.
.
Which begs the question: do the Oscars need a separate category for these kinds of performances?"

Considering the Academy Awards never really took Animation seriously and intends to keep it that way after Beauty & The Beast won Best Picture, same applies when it comes to voice acting. That's why I stopped caring for the Oscars anymore.

Of course, we have the Annie Awards, but even that has its issues of bias with its members being mostly from Disney and the like.
