Hollywood, California - At the Los Angeles premiere of Universal Pictures' 'The Fall Guy,' actor Ryan Gosling made a passionate plea for the Oscars to start acknowledging the hard work and dedication of stunt performers in the film industry. Gosling, who stars in the film alongside Emily Blunt, emphasized the significant contributions of stunt professionals, describing them as the hardest-working individuals in show business.
While the Screen Actors Guild Awards have been honoring stunt performers with a dedicated category since 2007, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has yet to introduce an award specifically for stunt work. The premiere of 'The Fall Guy' was marked by a spectacular stunt event, with performers showcasing their skills on the red carpet, including staged fights and motorcycle stunts.
