There has been pressure placed on the Academy for years regarding the inclusion of an Oscar category for stunt work. Stunt work has essentially gone unrecognized by all of the major award shows. However, the Academy, which is undergoing a reshaping in an effort to rejuvenate its brand is seriously, and most likely will, establish a Best Stunts Oscar category.
The Academy has already added a new Award that will be launched in two years for Best Casting Directors. So, there is strong momentum in establishing a Stunt Award.
There's doubt that stunts are an integral part of most movies and TV content, and it is long overdo that this art form be recognized for its huge impact on virtually all forms of entertainment. CMG is strongly in favor of establishing a Best Stunts Oscar category.
