The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is exploring the possibility of adding a Best Stunts Category to the Oscars. This move comes after years of industry campaigning for proper recognition of stunt performers. Academy CEO Bill Kramer confirmed they are in discussions with members of the stunt community. The Academy recently added a new award for Casting Directors, indicating their openness to recognizing different facets of film production. The new award will launch in two years. The cast of 'The Fall Guy' has also pushed for this addition.
