Yakima Canutt, Action Director, Stunt Coordinator and Stuntman received a special Oscar in 1966 for "developing safety devices to protect all stunt men everywhere" and for co-directing the chariot-race scene in "Ben Hur" with Andrew Marton, which took two years to plan and execute.
Canutt staged the chariot race with nine teams of four horses. He trained Charlton Heston and Stephen Boyd to do their own charioteering. He and his crew spent five months on the race sequence. In contrast to the 1925 film, not one horse was hurt, and no humans experienced serious injuries
Ben-Hur was nominated for 12 awards and won 11 for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction-Set Decoration,
Best Actor in a Leading Role, Best Actor in a Supporting Role,
Best Costume Design, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, Best Music,Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture, Best Special Effects.
Unfortunately there is NO ACADEMY AWARD for Action Designers/Stunt Coordinators.
