With all the realistic stunts done by the stunt crew with MMFR, they surely deserve every win. 8-)
"UNDERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" is how far you take the fence with you.

No doubt another 6 wins would be great!
Are there any news about MMFR stuntwoman Dayna Grant ? I remember a few months ago she was in danger to lose an arm.?

I hope she wins the award for the Max-Nux-Furiosa Fight.

This award show is where Fury Road really deserves to shine. The award show itself deserves 1000x more exposure than it gets too.

it wasn't Dayna it was Olivia Jackson who had the massive accident.

Fury Road wins 3 out of 5 trophys at the Taurus World Stunt Awards

Already last month, on May 14, the film won 3 awards during a presentation at Paramount Pictures in Hollywood, California.
Stunt men and women from around the world honored their peers for a year of outstanding work in feature films.

George Millers film had 5 total nominations and featured winning stunts ranging from a motorcycle sliding under a tanker to stunt men
perched on giant poles and made to move like metronomes. A 150-strong stunt team, led by Action Unit Director and Stunt Coordinator
Guy Norris, won Best Stunt Rigging and Best Specialty Stunt, while Norris himself took home Best Second Unit Direction/Stunt Coordination.
Side note: an epic fight of a church congregation fighting each other from the film Kingsman: The Secret Service won in the Best Fight category.
