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.

Wicked filmmaker Jon M. Chu will be honored during the ceremony with the ACE Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award, which recognizes distinguished achievement in the art and business of film. Career Achievement Awards will be presented to Oscar-winning original Star Wars editor Paul Hirsch and Maysie Hoy, whose credits include The Six Triple Eight and multiple Dolly Parton telefilms.
