Popular movie star, Ryan Reynolds has taken to social media to advocate for an Oscars award category for stunt performances.
According to Reynolds, stunt performers deserve their own Oscars awards, heaping praises on the performers who worked on the ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’
“Stunt work doesn’t have a category at The Oscars and I hope that’ll change someday.
So many films have smashed it this year. Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd and Chaplin were stunt performers as well as filmmakers. Telling stories with their entire bodies.
“This D and W stunt team over-delivered. A lot of them are friends I’ve worked with for years and I’ll spend the rest of my days doodling their names in my Heidi Stationary, dotting all the “‘s” with little hearts.” He wrote via his X handle.
He clearly emphasized that individuals with such difficult skills deserve more recognition and respect.
“It’s mind boggling how much @RealHughJackman does himself. But Daniel Stevens steps in for the truly dangerous stuff. He’s been “Wolverining” a long time.
“As we know, Wolverining is HARD. I’d ask Alex to eat the crab salad I left on the dashboard for three straight days for Dan.
“Huge shoutout to Andy Lister for bringing a new and insane Wolvie gear to the Deadpool Corps fight as well. If you’d like to see @TheAcademy recognize the amazing work of stunt teams ACROSS THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY, let them know!” He noted.
