Should the Oscars have an award for stunts?
Stunts make up an important part of many blockbuster films - from the Mission Impossible franchise to Marvel's superhero movies. But at the Academy Awards, there are prizes for visual effects, costume design, hair and makeup, but not for stunts. Now there are talks underway as to whether, next year, there might, for the first time be an Oscar to honour the best stunts of the year. How would you judge it, and who gets credit? Newshour's Tim Franks asks Bobby Holland Hanton, a stuntman who's worked as a body double for stars like Chris Hemsworth on some of the biggest action movies of recent years.
