John Waters was honored with the ACE Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award, recognizing an artist who exemplifies distinguished achievement in the art and business of film.
“John Waters isn’t just a filmmaking icon,” said ACE president Kevin Tent, ACE, “He’s a punk rock poet of the picture palace. With each frame, he challenges norms, skewers societal hypocrisies, and explodes cinematic expectations with subversive wit and audacious style. His films crackle with an anarchic energy that’s as intoxicating as it is hilarious and poignant. ACE is proud to celebrate his singular artistic vision that has entertained the hell out of generations.”
ACE also bestowed career achievement honors to film editors Kate Amend, ACE and Walter Murch, ACE for their outstanding career contributions to film editing and Stephen Lovejoy, ACE received the ACE Heritage Award in recognition of his unwavering commitment to advancing the image of the film editor, cultivating respect for the editing profession, and tireless dedication to the American Cinema Editors.
