ACE Eddie Awards Nominations Include ‘Sound Of Metal’, ‘Borat’ And ‘Minari’, ‘Ted Lasso’ And ‘Hamilton’

Editors on films ranging from Amazon’s Borat Subsequent Moviefilm to Netflix’s The Trial of the Chicago 7 have been nominated for the 71st annual ACE Eddie Awards, presented by the American Cinema Editors to recognize the year’s best in picture editing in 14 film, TV and documentary categories.

Winners will be announced during a virtual awards ceremony April 17, where Spike Lee will receive the ACE Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award and Lynzee Klingman and Sidney Wolinsky will receive the group’s Career Achievement Awards.

As for today’s nominees, the marquee film categories are split into Dramatic and Comedy. The former features Chicago 7 along with Netflix’s Mank, A24’s Minari, Searchlight’s Nomadland (edited by writer-director Chloé Zhao) and Amazon’s Sound of Metal. The comedy nominees include Borat, Netflix’s I Care a Lot, Apple’s On the Rocks, Neon/Hulu’s Palm Springs and Focus Features’ Promising Young Woman.

Last year, the Eddies went to eventual Oscar Editing nominees Parasite (Yang Jinmo) and Jojo Rabbit (Tom Eagles) in dramatic and comedy, respectively. It was Michael McCusker & Andrew Buckland of Ford v. Ferrari which eventually took the Oscar.

Pixar, which won the animation category last year for Toy Story 4, is back this year with two entries, Onward and Soul. They are joined by the editors from Universal’s The Croods: A New Age, Netflix’s Over the Moon and Apple’s Wolfwalkers. In documentary, Netflix scored three noms with Dick Johnson Is Dead, My Octopus Teacher and The Social Dilemma, joined by Amazon’s All In: The Fight for Democracy and Briarcliff’s The Dissident.

In TV, noms range from recognizing a trio of series finales (NBC’s The Good Place, Pop TV’s Schitt’s Creek and Netflix’s BoJack Horseman) to multiple noms for Apple’s Ted Lasso and FX on Hulu’s What We Do in the Shadows. Dan Crinnon of BBC America’s Killing Eve, meanwhile, is the only winner last year who is returning to defend his title.
