Stunt Actors Deserve an Oscar? Jason Statham Thinks So

Date:

Jason Statham believes that stunt actors deserve an Oscar Award category.

Statham recently spoke with vanity fair in an interview:

“I think it is an overlooked category,” Statham told us, especially considering “how much responsibility these coordinators have for some of the greatest entertainment in action movies. I mean, all of the stunt men—these are the unsung heroes. They really are. Nobody is giving them any credibility. They’re risking their necks. And then you’ve got poncy actors pretending like they’re doing [the stunts].”

“For me,” he continued, “it’s a total injustice. They’re the ones getting busy. Then you have some guy standing in front of a fucking green screen screwing his face up pretending like he’s doing the stunt. To me, it’s like a farce. I have a real frustration with that because I know these coordinators. I train with them all the time and they are incredibly talented.” (Via Vanity Fair)

I totally agree with Statham. But, what do you think? Check out Jackie Chan’s Top Stunts:
