The American Cinema Editors (ACE) has nominated “Belfast,” “Dune,” “King Richard,” “No Time to Die” and “The Power of the Dog” in the category of feature film drama at the 72nd annual ACE Eddie Awards.
In the best edited comedic feature category, “Cruella,” “Don’t Look Up,” “The French Dispatch,” “Licorice Pizza” and “Tick, Tick…Boom!” all received nominations.
Among the animated features nominated were “Encanto,” “Luca,” “The Mitchells vs. the Machines,” “Raya and the Last Dragon” and “Sing 2.” The TV nominees include “Succession” and “The White Lotus.”
The Eddies are considered a precursor for the best picture and best editing categories at the Oscars. Five of the past 11 winners for best edited drama feature went on to win the film editing Oscar.
Since 1961, only 10 women have won in the best edited drama feature category. This year, there are two women who made the cut: Pamela Martin (“King Richard”) and Úna Ní Dhonghaíle (“Belfast).
As previously announced, Lillian E. Benson and Richard Chew will receive career achievement awards at the group’s awards ceremony.
Final ballots close on Feb. 14 and winners will be revealed during ACE’s annual black-tie awards ceremony on March 5 at The Theatre at Ace Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. The after-party is to be held at the nearby Clifton’s Republic. As previously announced, the event will take place at 50% capacity in accordance with health and safety protocols.
