The 2024 American Cinema Editors (ACE) Eddie Award nominations have been unveiled.
As announced today, January 25, the 74th Annual ACE Eddie Awards will recognize Thelma Schoonmaker’s work on “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Jennifer Lame’s editing skills on “Oppenheimer,” Nick Houy’s vision for “Barbie,” Laurent Sénéchal for “Anatomy of a Fall,” and more nominees across drama and comedy.
The annual awards ceremony honors outstanding editing in 14 categories of film, television, and documentaries. The winners will be announced live during the ACE Eddie Awards on Sunday, March 3, 2024 at UCLA’s Royce Hall at a special brunch celebration, with “Hairspray” actress, drag queen, and queer activist Nina West hosting.
TV nominees include “The Bear,” “Succession,” “Barry,” “Ahsoka,” “The Last of Us,” and “Beef.”
“Hairspray” director John Waters will receive the ACE Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award, which recognizes filmmakers who exemplify distinguished achievement in the art and business of film. Film editors Kate Amend, ACE, and Walter Murch, ACE, will also receive Career Achievement Awards for their outstanding contributions to film editing. Stephen Lovejoy, ACE, will be honored with the Heritage Award for his unwavering commitment to ACE.
While the Eddies winners are not always indicative of those at the Academy Awards, many of the nominations for the crafts award ceremony reflect Best Picture nominees at the 2024 Oscars.
