#SHOWBIZ: Oscars to add new award for stunts
A NEW Oscar for stunts will be handed out when Hollywood's glitziest party celebrates its 100th birthday, awards officials said on Thursday. The Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said films released in 2027 will be eligible for an Oscar for Achievement in Stunt Design. "Since the early days of cinema, stunt design has been an integral part of filmmaking," Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy president Janet Yang. "We are proud to honour the innovative work of these technical and creative artists, and we congratulate them for their commitment and dedication to reaching this momentous occasion." Rules on eligibility and who will vote for the winner will be unveiled in two years. The announcement marks the culmination of a growing campaign for a "best stunts" category at the Oscars, with supporters arguing that the input of the unsung performers who risk life and limb equals that of the sound mixers, makeup artists and visual effects gurus who are already honoured. Stunt work is already honoured at some prestigious movie and TV ceremonies, such as the Screen Actors Guild Awards where "Fall Guy" took home the 2024 prize. The Academy has been expanding the Oscars to create more categories that reflect how complex flimmaking has become. Last year, a new Oscar was established for casting, which will be awarded for the first time next year.
