American Cinemas Editors has spliced together the nominees for its 75rd anniversary ACE Eddie Awards, which will be handed out next month. See the list of all film, TV and documentary categories below.
To be eligible, films must be released in theaters during calendar 2024, and TV shows must have aired between January 1 and November 1. The trophies will be presented during the ceremony on Saturday, January 18, at UCLA’s Royce Hall in Westwood.
