Here we in a team / film hope An award honoring cascade work for yearsAnd it seems that some high -level cascade films and Creatives francs like the creator of “John Wick” and the director Chad Stahelski finally helped to bring the academy. Although a few years before knowing the full scope of the price and how it will be judged and presented, it is quite exciting that people who have put their lives at stake to entertain us will potentially be obtained the most prestigious prices of all the cinema. It only took them 100 years.

In the press release, the Board of Governors Elaborates that they will announce the Rules for the Category Along with the Rules For the Rest of 100th Academy Awards, noting that the Last New Award Category Added To The Ceremony Was For Achievement, Which Will Be Given Out 98th Academy Awards in 2026.

The 97th Academy Awards ceremony in fact Tribute paid to waterfall artists with a video Presented by “The Fall Guy” features Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling who highlighted the importance of stuntmen and coordinators, so this price is probably in progress for a little while. Not only is it important to recognize the talented people who work in waterfalls, but a cascade price is also a way to recognize the favorite big blockbusters of fans who may not have a chance in other categories. Obtaining non -films (I say that with love) to connect to the Oscars can always be a bit of a challenge, and giving a little more profiled cinema to the ceremony could help. Backing a cascade price is not only the right thing to do; It is also the intelligent thing to do to bring a new life to the Oscar ceremony. Who knows, maybe they can even have live storage rooms at the show … it’s the centenary, after all!
