Wicked and Emilia Perez were named the best edited feature films of 2024 at the 75th Annual Ace Eddie Awards. Winners were announced on March 14, 2025 during a ceremony that was originally scheduled for January 18th. The devastating Los Angeles wildfires forced the delay, and the American Cinema Editors opted for a less formal ceremony that helped raise money for wildfire relief.

On the television side, awards season favorite Shogun, What We Do in the Shadows, and Frasier took home awards. Both What We Do in the Shadows and Frasier earned Ace Eddie Awards for their final seasons, while Shogun is set to return for a second season.

The American Cinema Editors (Ace) has announced its winners for the 2025 Ace Eddie Awards, which recognizes “outstanding editing in 14 categories of film, television and documentaries.”

Emilia Pérez and Wicked won in the feature film categories, while The Wild Robot and Will & Harper won best animated feature and documentary feature, respectively. What We Do in the Shadows, Shogun and Baby Reindeer won in the TV categories, among others.

The 75th annual ceremony celebrating the best editing of the year was originally set to take place on Jan. 18 before it was postponed due to the L.A. wildfires.

At the event, Wicked filmmaker Jon M. Chu received the Ace Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award; and film editors Maysie Hoy and Paul Hirsch received career achievement awards. Conclave, Dune: Part Two and Emilia Pérez were among the drama feature film nominees while Anora, Challengers and The Substance were included in the comedy film nominees.

Out of respect for those affected by the L.A. wildfires, the American Cinema Editors have announced that the 2025 Ace Eddie Awards has been postponed. A new date for the 75th annual ceremony will be announced soon.

The reimagined gala, which will still honor Wicked director Jon M. Chu with the Ace Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award, will “pivot from a black-tie, red carpet event to a ‘Come as You Are’ community-building fundraiser,” the organization announced. In addition, a portion of the ticket sales will be donated to Southern California fire relief. The guild’s private cocktail party celebrating the Ace Eddie Awards nominees is also being moved to a new date. See more event changes in the wake of the wildfires.

The guild’s official statement is: “Due to the ongoing concerns for safety within our L.A. communities, we have made arrangements with UCLA and Royce Hall...

75th Annual Ace Eddie Awards...

The American Cinema Editors’ Eddie Awards have announced their nominations in 14 categories honoring film, television, and documentaries. The winners will be announced live during the awards ceremony to be held on Saturday, Jan. 18, 2025, at UCLA’s Royce Hall.

In addition to these competitive awards, “Wicked” director Jon M. Chu is set to receive the Ace Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award, recognizing a filmmaker “who exemplifies distinguished achievement in the art and business of film.” Meanwhile, film editors Maysie Hoy and Paul Hirsch will receive Career Achievement Awards “for their outstanding contributions to film editing.”

Some noteworthy Oscar contenders who made the cut at these awards include “Anora,” “Conclave,” “Wicked,” and “Emilia Pérez.” But despite having separate categories for dramas and comedies, a few major awards hopefuls were left out. “The Brutalist,” as of this writing Gold Derby’s Oscar frontrunner for Best Film Editing, was snubbed, as were “Sing Sing,...

“Civil War,” “Conclave,” “Dune: Part Two,” “Emilia Pérez” and “Furiosa” have been nominated for Best Edited Feature Film (Drama) by the American Cinema Editors, which announced the nominees for the 75th annual Ace Eddie Awards on Wednesday.

The contenders for Best Edited Feature Film (Comedy) are “Anora,” “Challengers,” “A Real Pain,” “The Substance” and “Wicked.” Both “Anora” and “The Substance” were edited or co-edited by their directors, Sean Baker and Coralie Fargeat.

In the drama category, the most surprising omission is “The Brutalist,” the epic drama which was passed over in favor of spring and summer action pictures “Civil War” and “Furiosa.” Also missing from the final cut was award hopefuls such as “Gladiator II,” “September 5,” “Nosferatu,” and “Nickel Boys.” Nominated editors Margaret Sixel (“Furiosa”) and Joe Walker (“Dune: Part Two”) both won Oscars for their work in the previous franchise installments (“Mad Max: Fury Road” and “Dune.”)

In the documentary categories, films Jim Henson Idea Man and Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story received nods, while series The Jinx – Part Two and Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV were nominated.

Winners will be announced on Jan. 18, 2025 at UCLA’s Royce Hall in Los Angeles, California.

Amazon Prime Video’s “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” is taking this Emmy race seriously.

With stars Donald Glover and Maya Erskine leading the charge, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” which draws inspiration from the 2005 movie featuring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, is set to compete in the drama categories at this year’s awards ceremony.

Crafted by Glover and Francesca Sloane, the show’s debut season stretches across eight episodes, centering on John and Jane Smith, secret agents who pose as a married couple while working for a shadowy corporation. Its blend of comedy and drama offered the potential to categorize it in either genre for awards consideration.

Note: The Following contains spoilers for “Barry” Season 4, Episode 4

As “Barry” barrels towards its series finale, the HBO series takes a couple of big swings halfway through this final season. Not only does Episode 4 feature the death of a major character from the show, but it ends with a shocking time jump that jolts the story forward eight years into the future, with Barry (Bill Hader) and Sally (Sarah Goldberg) not only living together but seemingly with a son of their own.

The idea for the time jump was born out of Hader’s desire to see what would happen if all of the characters got what they wanted. “Would they be happy? Could they maintain that?” Hader told TheWrap in our latest episodic interview. Read on for plenty of insight into how Cristobal’s death came to be (and the pushback Hader received in the writers room) and the...

Those surprised to see Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro in the latest episode of “Barry” may also be surprised to learn the cameo was del Toro’s idea – not that he thought it would actually happen. Creator and star Bill Hader says the “Pan’s Labyrinth” director has always been a fan of the HBO series, and told Hader at the end of Season 3 that he’d love to be in the show.

“It just so happened we had a part of this guy who sets up Hank and Cristobal with Los Amigos Gadgets, so I thought that’d be great for Guillermo and then we named the character Toro,” Hader told TheWrap during our breakdown of Season 4, Episode 3. “He seemed surprised that I actually did it. I was like, ‘You asked me and I wrote you a part, it’s called Toro.’ And his reply was, ‘Oh s–t, I...

American Cinema Editors announced winners in 14 categories March 5 during the 73rd annual Ace Eddie Awards. And all five Oscar nominees were included among the nominations — though spread out between two categories.

Historically, the Eddie winner for theatrical drama has also won the Academy Award 13 of 22 times‚ but not in the last three years. Whether or not that streak will hold remains murky since Oscar nominees “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Everything Everywhere All at Once” both took home trophies.

“The Woman King” director Gina Prince-Bythewood received the Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award, while film editors Lynne Willingham and Don Zimmerman received Career Achievement Awards.

Other winners included awards season faves “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio,” “Fire of Love,” and “The Bear.” See the complete list of winners, marked in bold, below.

Nielsen for The Banshees of Inisherin, Paul Rogers for Everything Everywhere All at Once, Bob Ducsay for Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Christopher Tellefsen for The Menu and Ruben Östlund and Mikel Cee Karlsson for Triangle of Sadness.

With her nomination for The Woman King, Shropshire becomes the second Black woman to be nominated for an Eddie in the dramatic feature category.

The American Cinema Editors (Ace) has nominated “Tár,” “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Elvis, “Top Gun: Maverick” and “The Woman King” in the category of feature film drama for the 73rd annual Ace Eddie Awards.

Since 1961, only 12 women have won in the best-edited drama feature category. This year, there are two women who made the cut: Terilyn Shropshire for “The Woman King” and Monika Willi for “Tár.” Willi also earned an Oscar nomination for her work.

HBO’s “Game of Thrones” and Amazon Prime Video’s “Fleabag” may be dead and gone, but they are most certainly not forgotten — at least as far as the American Cinema Editors are concerned. The organization announced the Eddie Award winners for TV on Friday night, at a ceremony held at the International Ballroom in the Beverly Hilton, hosted by star of “The Good Place” D’Arcy Carden.

Tim Porter’s work on the epic 82-minute “Game of Thrones” episode “The Long Night” earned him the prize for Best Edited Drama Series For Non-Commercial Television, unsurprising given Porter’s win for the work at the Emmy Awards in September.

The same goes for Gary Dollner for his work on the Season 2 premiere of “Fleabag.” The editor’s work is just the latest accolade garnered by Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s exquisite comedy. That makes two consecutive Eddie wins for Dollner, who won Best...

Four Oscar nominees for Best Film Editing contend for the guild’s drama prize with the fifth recognized over on the comedy side (“Jojo Rabbit”).

The Eddies have an excellent track record for predicting the ultimate Oscar winner for Best Film Editing, with 22 of the last 29 matching up including last year’s champion “Bohemian Rhapsody.” In addition, since the guild split their top award into two prizes in 2000, eight of their 20 winners went...

The American Cinema Editors has nominated “Ford v Ferrari,” “Joker,” “The Irishman,” “Marriage Story” and “Parasite” for its Ace Eddie top feature film drama award.

“Dolemite Is My Name,” “The Farewell,” “Jojo Rabbit,” “Knives Out” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” received nominations in the feature comedy category. Nominated animated films include “Frozen 2,” “I Lost My Body” and “Toy Story 4.”

For the first time in Ace’s 70-year history, three foreign language films are among the nominees — “The Farewell,” which is partly in Mandarin, French animated film “I Lost My Body” and Korean-language “Parasite.”

On the television side, the spy thriller “Killing Eve” scored Ace nominations for Dan Crinnion for the “Desperate Times” episode and the “Smell Ya Later” episode for Al Morrow.

Winners will be revealed during Ace’s annual black-tie awards ceremony on Jan. 17 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and will be presided over by Ace president Stephen Rivkin.

American Cinema Editors has spliced together its nominations for the 70th annual Ace Eddie Awards, which recognize outstanding editing in 11 categories of film, television and documentaries. The honorary society will dole out its hardware during the January 17 ceremony at the Beverly Hilton.

Final balloting opens December 16 and closes January 6. Check out the list below.

For the first time, three foreign-language films are among the Eddie Awards nominees — The Farewell, I Lost My Body and Parasite — despite there not being a specific category for films predominantly in a foreign language.

Last year’s big winner on the feature side was Bohemian Rhapsody, which went on to score the Oscar for John Ottman.

Here are the nominees for the 70th annual Ace Eddie Awards:

Best Edited Feature Film (Drama)

Ford v Ferrari

Michael McCusker, Ace & Andrew Buckland

The Irishman

Thelma Schoonmaker, Ace

“Ford v Ferrari,” “The Irishman,” “Joker,” “Marriage Story” and “Parasite” have been nominated in the dramatic-film category at the American Cinema Editors’ Ace Eddie Awards, which honor the best in film editing.

In the comedy category, the nominees were “Dolemite Is My Name,” “The Farewell,” “Jojo Rabbit,” “Knives Out” and “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood.”

The most notable omission was “1917,” which contains dozens of cuts but was designed to look as if it was filmed in one continuous, unbroken shot.

In recent years, more than 90 percent of the Oscar nominees in the Best Film Editing category have first been recognized by the American Cinema Editors. The majority of Oscar nominees have come from the Ace Eddie dramatic category – though for the last two years, the Academy has taken three nominees from the Ace Eddies’ comedy category and only two from the drama category.

Parasite, The Farewell and I Lost My Body have earned nominations from the America Cinema Editors (Ace), marking the first time three foreign-language films have garnered nods in the group’s 70-year history.

Bong Joon Ho’s South Korean dark comedy Parasite is nominated in the best edited feature film (drama) category, while Us-Chinese The Farewell is in best edited feature film (comedy), and France’s I Lost My Body is in best edited animated feature film.

Last night saw an under the radar precursor give out its prizes, which in turn may have shifted one of the Oscar categories. Yes, Friday evening saw the American Cinema Editors give out their annual Ace Eddie awards. This yearly event usually can clue us in to what the frontrunners for Best Film Editing at the Academy Awards are. That may well be the case again here, though if that’s true, the Academy and its voters are going to be making an usual choice. They already did in terms of their nominees in the category though, so I suppose this is just par for the course… In a bit of a surprise, the award for Best Edited Feature Film (Dramatic) went to John Ottman for his work on Bohemian Rhapsody. Ottman won in an upset over Barry Alexander Brown for BlacKkKlansman, Jay Cassidy for A Star Is Born, Tom Cross for First Man,...

“Bohemian Rhapsody,” which has been on a roll since the Golden Globes, was the surprise dramatic editing winner for John Ottman at the 69th Ace Eddie Awards Friday at the Beverly Hilton.

“The Favourite” (Yorgos Mavropsaridis), “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” (Robert Fisher Jr.), and “Free Solo” (Bob Eisenhardt) took home comedy, animation, and documentary feature honors.

Ace is usually a great Oscar bellwether for editing (24 out of the last 28 years ), so Ottman now becomes the favorite for his deft balancing of the Freddie Mercury story (Best Actor frontrunner Rami Malek) with the Queen story under difficult circumstances when director Bryan Singer was fired and replaced by Dexter Fletcher. Ottman beat “Roma” director/editor Alfonso Cuarón and co-editor Adam Gough, Barry Alexander Brown (“BlacKkKlansman”), Tom Cross (“First Man”), and Jay Cassidy (“A Star Is Born”).

However, Ottman faces Oscar competition from Brown, Mavropsaridis, Hank Corwin (“Vice”), and Patrick J. Don Vito...

“Bohemian Rhapsody” and “The Favourite” have been named the best-edited feature films of 2018 at the American Cinema Editors’ Ace Eddie Awards, which took place on Friday night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

“Bohemian Rhapsody” won in the Best Edited Feature Film (Dramatic) category, while “The Favourite” topped the Best Edited Feature Film (Comedy) category.

Since the Ace Eddie for feature film was split into separate drama and comedy or musical categories 19 years ago, the winner in the drama category has gone on to win the Academy Award for film editing 13 times, and the Best Picture Oscar seven times. The winner in the comedy or musical category has only won the Oscar in those categories once, when “Chicago” did it in 2003.

Two films about Brits of very different eras took the marquee trophies at the Ace Eddie Awards tonight as Bohemian Rhapsody and The Favourite took home the respective marquee prizes for Best Edited Feature Dramatic and Comedy.

“I was expecting the worst, I was not prepared for this at all,” Rhapsodyd editor John Ottman said from the stage. He called the film a “labor of love in trying circumstances but joked: “No one [was] miscast, thank God, so you don’t have to polish that turd for a year.”

In accepting his stauette for The Favourite, editor Yorgos Mavropsaridis told the crowd of 1,000-plus he was impressed to get the award because he is from such a “small country like Greece.”

Queen biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody” and period romp “The Favourite” walked away with top film honors at the 69th annual Ace Eddie Awards Friday night.

Both films were nominated for the film editing Oscar last week. In the Ace drama category, “Bohemian Rhapsody” bested fellow Oscar contender “BlacKkKlansman,” as well as “First Man,” “Roma” and “A Star Is Born.” In the comedy field, “The Favourite” beat out two Oscar nominees — “Green Book” and “Vice” — as well as “Crazy Rich Asians” and “Deadpool 2.”

“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” won the animated feature prize, while “Free Solo” took the award for theatrical documentaries. “Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind” won for non-theatrical documentaries.

Other television winners included “Atlanta,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Killing Eve,” “Bodyguard,” “Escape at Dannemora” and “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.”

The American Cinema Editors is honoring its own tonight with the 69th annual Ace Eddie Awards in Los Angeles, and Deadline is live blogging it all. We’ll post the winners in all 11 categories as they’re announced and pass along quotes from their speeches as well as describing the atmosphere.

Tom Kenny, who has voiced SpongeBob SquarePants for the past 20 years, is hosting the shindig from the International Ballroom at the Beverly Hilton.

Recognizing outstanding editing in film, TV and documentaries, the Eddies have a strong track record of predicting the Best Editing winner at the Academy Awards. Twenty-one of the past 28 Ace winners for best edited dramatic film and 10 of the past 14 have gone on to score the Oscar, including Lee Smith for Dunkirk last year.

In fact, the Eddies are a pretty good barometer for the Best Picture Oscar as well, predicting 17 of the past 28 winners of the Academy’s biggest prize.

Marco Gonzalez of Boston University wins Anne V. Coates Student Editing Award.

Bohemian Rhapsody edited by John Ottman and The Favourite edited by Yorgos Mavropsaridis won best edited feature dramatic and comedy at Friday’s (February 1) 69th Annual Ace Eddie Awards in Hollywood.

It was a busy morning for precursor awards today, wasn’t it? Not only are we still recovering from what went on at the Golden Globes last night, a quartet of important stepping stones to Oscar announced their nominees. The nominations came from the Ace Eddies (the Guild for film editors), the American Society of Cinematographers (the Guild for cinematography), the Art Directors Guild, and of course, the Writers Guild. The latter, as usual, had disqualified some high profile contenders, so that’s important to keep in mind, but the former three have given us a decent look at the likeliest Academy Award nominees in Best Production Design and Best Film Editing, respectively. The four precursors represented Guilds that actually correspond with Academy members, so keep that in mind. Ace Eddie and Adg separate into multiple categories, so that’s worth making note of, as well. Also, as you might imagine,...

“Roma” director Alfonso Cuarón and co-editor Adam Gough led the 9th annual Ace Eddie feature film nominations, joining Barry Alexander Brown (“BlacKkKlansman”), John Ottman (“Bohemian Rhapsody”), Tom Cross (“First Man”), and Jay Cassidy (“A Star Is Born”). The awards will be presented on February 1 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Nominated for comedy feature were Myron Kerstein (“Crazy Rich Asians”), Craig Alpert, Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir and Dirk Westervelt (“Deadpool 2”), Yorgos Mavropsaridis (“The Favourite”), Patrick J. Don Vito (“Green Book”), and Hank Corwin (Vice”).

Left out were “If Beale Street Could Talk,” “Mary Poppins Returns,” and “Black Panther.” Editing nominations tend to include the eventual Best Picture winner.

Animation nominees included Golden Globe winner “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”, “Incredibles 2” (Stephen Schaffer), and “Isle of Dogs”.

Feature documentary nominees were led by “Free Solo” (Bob Eisenhardt), “Rbg” (Carla Gutierrez), “Three Identical Strangers” (Michael Harte), and “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” (Jeff Malmberg and Aaron Wickenden.

69th Annual Ace Eddie Awards to take place on February 1 in Los Angeles.

First Man, Roma, Bohemian Rhapsody, BlacKkKlansman, and A Star Is Born have been nominated for dramatic feature editing honours by the American Cinema Editors (Ace).

The group also announced on Monday (6) that Crazy Rich Asians, Deadpool 2, The Favourite, Green Book, and Vice will contest the comedy feature category.

The 69th Annual Ace Eddie Awards will take place on February 1 in Los Angeles.

Golden Globe winners “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Green Book” were among the nominees for this year’s American Cinema Editors Eddie Awards, it was announced Monday.

In the dramatic field, members of the organization voted “BlacKkKlansman,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “First Man” and “Roma” alongside Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga’s celebrated remake. In comedy, “Crazy Rich Asians,” “Deadpool 2,” “The Favourite” and “Vice” joined Peter Farrelly’s ’60s-set race-relations yarn starring Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali.

Animated nominees were “Incredibles 2,” “Isle of Dogs” and “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” while feature documentary nominees included “Free Solo,” “Rbg,” “Three Identical Strangers” and “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?”

On the television side, FX’s “Atlanta,” AMC’s “Better Call Saul” and Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” each picked up nominations for multiple episodes. They were joined by entries from HBO’s “Barry” and “Insecure,” NBC’s “The Good Place,” IFC’s “Portlandia,...

In the Best Edited Feature Film (Comedy) category, the nominees were “Crazy Rich Asians,” “Deadpool 2,” “The Favourite,” “Green Book” and “Vice.”

“Black Panther” is the most surprising omission from the Ace Eddie nominations, and the film most likely to land an Oscar nomination even after being bypassed by the honorary society of top editors.

When it comes to Emmy nominations for below-the-line talent, traditional broadcaster NBC more than held its own in the major Creative Arts categories, tying HBO and besting juggernaut Netflix. The Peacock network broadcast three of the 13 shows that amassed seven or more noms in such areas as cinematography, production design and editing. HBO also had three shows in that arena; FX and Netflix each scored two, while Amazon, Hulu and Showtime each had one. Here’s an appraisal of those strongly crafted programs by some of the artisans who helped create them.
