The Academy has created a new annual award for Achievement in Stunt Design. Beginning with the 100th Oscars in 2028, the award will be for films released in 2027.
Adding new categories is something that is long overdue for the Academy. I would also like to see new categories such as Camera Operator, Colorist, and Gaffer added to the list.
What would you like to see added as a new award category? Let us know in the comments section below.
