The Academy Awards announced the creation of a new category, Achievement in Stunt Design, set to debut at the 100th ceremony in 2028. The category aims to honor the innovative work of stunt performers, coordinators, and action designers who play a crucial role in shaping the cinematic experience. Rules for eligibility and voting will be announced in 2027, with specific guidelines for the award’s presentation to be established later. The addition of this new category has been met with enthusiasm from the Stuntmen’s Association of Motion Pictures, as well as filmmakers like David Leitch, who began his career in stunts. The last new Oscar category, achievement in casting, was announced in 2024 and will debut at the 2026 ceremony. This historic moment in the film industry marks a significant step in recognizing the talent and dedication of those behind the scenes who help bring unforgettable moments to the screen.
