In the 2007 videogame Stuntman: Ignition, a player can be nominated for the Taurus World Stunt Awards.[33]
The award ceremony is normally broadcast on American television channels such as Entertainment News (E!).[citation needed] The awards show has also aired on AMC.[34]
In 2008, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) added an awards category for stunt performers, "Best Stunt Ensembles in features and TV."[35]
Stunt performers have lobbied for the creation of an Academy Award for stunt work, but little progress has been made.[36][35][37][38]
