The Academy Awards will introduce a new category for stunt design, starting with the 100th Oscars ceremony in 2028. This follows a long campaign by the stunt community, led by director David Leitch, to gain recognition for their crucial role in filmmaking. The new award will celebrate the artistry and innovation of stunt design, acknowledging the contributions of performers, coordinators, and choreographers. The specific rules and presentation details will be announced later.
