Disney Advertising orchestrated a groundbreaking advertising campaign during the 97th Oscars®, featuring five major brands: Carnival Cruise Line, Kiehl's, L'Oréal Paris, MNTN, and Samsung Galaxy. The campaign showcased six high-adrenaline commercials celebrating Hollywood's stunt community, featuring over 75 real-life stunt performers.

The initiative, led by renowned stunt coordinator Chris Denison, included various stunts from skydiving and high falls to fight scenes and glass window crashes. Each brand integrated their products into action-packed scenarios: Samsung demonstrated Galaxy features, Carnival celebrated service excellence, Kiehl's showcased product endurance, L'Oréal tested makeup durability, and MNTN displayed TV advertising innovation.

The campaign aimed to spotlight typically unrecognized stunt performers, allowing them to appear as themselves rather than unnamed doubles. The advertisements aired throughout the Oscars broadcast on ABC and Hulu, with content available on The Oscars YouTube and Disney Advertising Instagram.
