The 5th Annual Taurus World Stunt Awards Made
a Huge Splash Sunday Night
The stars were out and the action was in full force at this year’s Taurus
World Stunt Awards held on the Paramount Pictures Lot last night. Envisioned
by the Red Bull(r) Energy Drink founder Dietrich Mateschitz, the Taurus World
Stunt Awards honoured the stunt professionals with their highest reward, the
Taurus. Quentin Tarantino, Sylvester Stallone and Vic Armstrong were honoured
for their significant contributions to the world of action films. Tarantino:
"I wanted to win this award so much. I have an awards shelf, but it needs to
get bigger now. I think this is hands down the biggest award that is given
out!"
    Action movie star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson hosted the event: "The 2005
Taurus World Stunt Awards is all about acknowledging the brave men and women
of the stunt community who put their lives on the line and are the backbone of
Hollywood," explained Rock. "Tonight, we recognize them, honor them and show
them the respect they deserve."
    The show with its extraordinary stage design was as breath-taking and
thrilling as never before. A new standard in stage design was set by playing
with the theme of water and creating an atmosphere of floating. A series of
on-stage live stunts that preceded each award category thrilled the crowd:
Boat stunts, sharks, splashes and explosions amazed the audience and delivered
a unique experience.
    Celebrities in attendance at the event or participating in the show
included: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Quentin Tarantino, Michelle Rodriguez,
Jennifer Love Hewitt, Dennis Hopper, Sylvester Stallone, Daryl Hannah, Robert
Rodriguez, Paul Walker and Kiefer Sutherland among many others.
