#SHOWBIZ: Best Stunt Performance award introduced at FFM34
HULU KELANG: A new award category has been introduced for the upcoming 34th Malaysia Film Festival (FFM 34) – the Best Stunt Performance award.
This new category is among the 30 awards that will be presented at the festival's gala night, taking place at Auditorium Seri Angkasa, Kota Media, Angkasapuri, on Nov 8.
"This new award acknowledges the bravery, commitment, and professionalism of stunt actors in carrying out stunt actions during filming, while adhering to safety regulations and maintaining quality standards," said Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching at a press conference held earlier today at the Studio Merdeka Complex.
Action actor Andy Teh, who has been involved in stunt work for over 10 years, welcomed the move.
"When I heard the announcement, I felt happy on behalf of the other stunt actors in Malaysia," he said.
"Perhaps with this category, more of us will feel encouraged to do better, as this shows that people truly appreciate our contribution to our film industry.
"And if I'm lucky, there's a chance for me to be nominated, and who knows what it might lead to," said the 38-year-old actor, whose antagonist character, Pablo, in Syafiq Yusof's action thriller 'Blood Brothers: Bara Naga', received widespread acclaim from many local film enthusiasts.
In addition to a trophy, the winner of this category will also receive a RM5,000 cash prize.
Nominations are now open and can be submitted until July 18.
