The Academy Awards will finally begin recognizing stunt performers

Quick Summary:

The first "stunt design" awards will debut in 2028, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the Oscars.

Director and producer (and former stuntman) David Leitch, who led the stuntman-focused film The Fall Guy, was in charge of the push to recognize stunt performers.“Stunts are essential to every genre of film and rooted deep in our industry’s history—from the groundbreaking work of early pioneers like Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, and Charlie Chaplin, to the inspiring artistry of today’s stunt designers, coordinators, performers, and choreographers,” he told Variety.

But that's about to change.
