ACE Eddie: Nominations Revealed


The American Cinema Editors have announced their nominations for the 65th annual ACE Eddie awards. The group (which also honors editing in Television) will have their ceremony and announce winners on January 30th.

These precursors have a pretty decent track record when it comes to Best Picture at the Oscars. Since 1990, the winner of the Eddie has taken Best Picture 17 times. Its a guild award to pay attention to. Though sometimes, the editors make room for genre films which, while showcasing outstanding editing are not typical Oscar fare. Notable examples include winners "The Bourne Ultimatum" and "The Matrix".

The most notable snub is Oscar hopeful "Selma". The MLK drama failed to make it into the Eddie's drama category despite six nominees. but the list does increase the status of films on the bubble for the editing award, such as "Nightcrawler" and "Whiplash".
