2015 ACE Eddie Nominations Announced

The American Cinema Editors have taken the time when most of us are still enjoying a little bit of downtime before truly getting back into the swing of things this new year to announce the film and television nominees for the 65th Annual ACE Eddie Awards. Among the nominees are a couple of personal favorites in Whiplash (Tom Cross) and The Imitation Game (William Goldbenbrrg). I also think something must be said for Boyhood, though editing a film over the course of 12 years doesn’t really leave much wiggle room. You’re essentially editing 12 short films because once you’re a year removed… you’re a year removed.

There are six nominees in the Best Edited Feature Film (Dramatic) category as a result of a tie providing for one additional nominee for the second time ever. Among the comedy/musical nominees I would like to believe The Grand Budapest Hotel (Barney Pilling) would be the front-runner, but we’ll see soon enough.

Check out the list of film and television nominees below, winners will be announced on January 30 and for a complete look at the upcoming awards season calendar click here.
