Wade Eastwood won Best Stunt Design for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning at the 2026 Critics' Choice Awards.
The award was part of the film ceremony's newly introduced craft categories. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning was recognized for the planning and execution of its action work, an area that has long been central to the franchise's identity.
Eastwood's film faced stunt-design nominees from Ballerina, F1, One Battle After Another, Sinners, and Warfare. The category focused on stunt design rather than visual effects, editing, sound, or overall direction.
The 31st Critics' Choice Awards introduced several new film categories, including Best Stunt Design and Best Casting and Ensemble. That makes Eastwood the inaugural winner of this Critics Choice category, a useful distinction from earlier action-related honors presented by the organization in other award programs.
