While the Academy Awards may have opted not to televise the Best Editing category, thankfully, there are ceremonies that still honor what is arguably the backbone of all major productions. The American Cinema Editors (ACE) Eddie Awards recognize the editing for major films, shows, and documentaries each year. Some of 2021’s hottest titles took home awards in respective categories, fromKing RichardtoSummer of Soul.
The 72nd Annual ACE Eddie Awards was held on March 5. Presenters for the ceremony includedAndy Garica,Debbie Allen,Tom Blyth,Aunjanue Ellis(King Richard),Chloé Zhao,Peter Sarsgaard(Dopesick),Questlove(Summer of Soul), andEmilio Estevez.King Richardandtick, tick… BOOM!took home the top honors for dramatic and comedic film, respectively, whileHacksandSuccessionwere recognized on the television side of things. Additionally, Disney’sEncantoand Fox’sBob Burgerswere the animated works honored for film and television, respectively.
These winners could offer something of a small look at the bigger picture ahead of the Academy Awards, with bothKing Richardandtick, tick… BOOM!nominated for Best Picture. Yet if last year’s winners are any indication, the ACE Eddies and Oscars don’t traditionally line up, asTrial of the Chicago 7andPalm Springswere the top honors last year for film. WhileAaron Sorkin’sTrial of the Chicago 7was nominated for six Oscars, it did not win any, andPalm Springswas not even recognized by the Academy.
