The issue has been important to Stahelski for some time; in a 2020 Collider interview with Stahelski and Wick co-director David Leitch, he stated "I’m all for stunts, for someone to get an Oscar. I think we’re a big part of it, if not one of the biggest parts, especially in the visuals in some of the biggest movies out there." collider.com/oscars-best-stunts-category-chad-stahelski-comments/ |

Sure, why not?, they have them for nearly everything else.

A lot of it is CGI now as well.

Keanu appreciates their work… After the filming of John Wick: Chapter 4, Keanu Reeves wanted to give his stunt team a token to show his appreciation. Throughout filming, the stunt crew each had to endure multiple scenes of getting killed by John Wick, often being re-used throughout action sequences and 35 stuntmen working in a scene where Wick has to take on over 200 men walking up a staircase. Towards the end of filming, Reeves gave each member of the stunt team a T-shirt with the number of onscreen deaths they endured on the back. Reeves also awarded his own personal stuntmen their own individual Rolex Submariner watches. faroutmagazine.co.uk/keanu-reeves-gifted-john-wick-stunt-crew-death-t-shirts/ |

That would create a problem though because so many stunt doubles are used. It ruins the illusion of film if a stunt double is awarded and it's openly acknowledged that the lead actor did not perform their own stunt. It's no secret. But stunt doubles are never acknowledged in the credits.
Film is about illusion. They can't destroy that.

Patton Oswald mentioned this stunt on Conan O’Brian’s podcast. He loves watching insane physical stunts.
