"John Wick Director Calls for Stunt Performers to Receive Oscar Recognition"

Chad Stahelski, director of the John Wick franchise, has called for the Oscars to recognise the work of stunt performers with their own category. Stahelski, who began his career as a stuntman, believes that stunt work is as relevant as any other department and that it would be a "legitimate win-win situation" to add a stunts category. He also praised Keanu Reeves' skills as a motorcycle rider and stunt driver, saying that Reeves is not "macho" and always prioritises what is best for the shot and the movie.
