75th American Cinema Editors ACE Eddie Award Nominations: ‘Civil War,’ ‘Emilia Pérez,’ ‘Challengers,’ ‘The Substance’ Among Mentions
American Cinema Editors (ACE) announced today the nominations for the 75th Annual ACE Eddie Awards, recognizing outstanding editing in 14 categories of film, television and documentaries.
In feature films, nominees included Civil War, Dune: Part Two and Emilia Pérez in the drama category, while Anora, Challengers and The Substance were among the comedy category.
Wicked was also nominated in the comedy category, a choice made by Universal Pictures as the category used to also include musicals. That distinction is now gone and musicals are able to be submitted in either comedy or drama, as noted by Netflix’s choice to submit Emilia Pérez in drama.
The editing of Flow, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl and The Wild Robot were among the nominees for animated films and for feature documentaries making the cut were Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story and Will & Harper.
In television, top mentions went to Fallout, Shōgun and Slow Horses in drama and Curb Your Enthusiasm, Nobody Wants This and Only Murders in the Building for comedy, among others. Baby Reindeer, Ripley and The Penguin are in contention for limited series.
The winners will be announced LIVE during the ACE Eddie Awards on Saturday, January 18, 2025 at UCLA’s Royce Hall.
As previously announced, acclaimed filmmaker Jon M. Chu will receive the ACE Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award, recognizing a filmmaker who exemplifies distinguished achievement in the art and business of film. Also previously announced, film editors Maysie Hoy, ACE and Paul Hirsch, ACE will receive Career Achievement Awards for their outstanding contributions to film editing.
