A New Era: Oscar Recognizes Stunt Performers

In a historic move, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has introduced a new Oscar category for Stunts. This long-awaited recognition—Achievement in Stunt Design—will debut at the 100th Academy Awards in 2028, honoring films released in 2027.

This decision marks a major shift in Hollywood’s approach to celebrating the behind-the-scenes heroes of action cinema: stunt performers, coordinators, and designers who risk their lives to bring thrilling sequences to the big screen.

How It All Began

Stunt work has always been a vital part of filmmaking. From high-speed chases to fiery explosions, these action-packed moments are often what make movies unforgettable.

But until now, these contributions went largely unnoticed during major award shows.

In 2023, renowned Indian filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli, known for RRR, publicly advocated for stunt work to be honored in global awards. He even pushed for a category at the Hollywood Critics Association Awards.

His call joined a growing chorus from Hollywood veterans like David Leitch (director and former stuntman) and Chris O’Hara (stunt coordinator), who’ve worked tirelessly to spotlight this often-overlooked art form.

What the Academy Said

On April 10, 2025, The Academy tweeted:

“Stunts have always been part of the magic of movies. Now, they’re part of the Oscars.”

With that, the official new Oscar category for Stunts was born. It will be awarded annually for Achievement in Stunt Design, a title that recognizes the planning, execution, and creativity that go into crafting iconic stunt sequences.

Why This Matters

This change doesn’t just reward stunt artists—it changes the game for action filmmaking. For decades, the industry has relied on these performers, yet failed to celebrate them at the highest level. Now, young stunt professionals can dream of winning an Oscar just like actors and directors.

It also opens the door to wider recognition for action films, which often get sidelined in favor of dramas during award season.

Looking Ahead to the 100th Oscars

The first Oscar for stunt design will be awarded in 2028. As the film industry prepares for its 100th Oscars milestone, this addition shows a commitment to evolving with the art of cinema.

Expect to see stunt teams now working even harder to push boundaries, knowing that their work could finally get the golden statue it deserves.

Final Thoughts

The new Oscar category for Stunts is more than just a nod to behind-the-scenes talent. It’s a celebration of physical artistry, risk, and cinematic storytelling. For stunt professionals worldwide, it’s long overdue.

Stay tuned as we head toward the 2028 Oscars—it’s going to be a high-flying ride.
