Oscars to Introduce Best Stunt Category in 2028, a Historic First

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will debut a Best Stunt category at the 2028 Oscars, marking a groundbreaking shift in film awards history.

Eva Mendes recently commended her husband, Ryan Gosling, for using his press tour for The Fall Guy to champion the recognition of stunt work.

For nearly a century, the film industry lacked dedicated acknowledgment for stunt design, but this historic move comes after efforts by industry professionals like director David Leitch and stunt coordinator Chris O'Hara, who played a key role in advocating for the change.
