ACE Eddie Awards on tap; ‘Belfast,’ ‘Dune,’ ‘Power of the Dog’ among nominees
Film editors for “Belfast,” “Dune,” “King Richard,” “No Time to Die” and “The Power of the Dog” are up for the best-edited feature film prize Saturday at the 72nd annual American Cinema Editors Eddie Awards.
After the COVID-19 pandemic forced last year’s ACE Awards to a virtual format, this year’s ceremonies return to in-person — appropriately, at the Ace Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
The Eddies recognize editors in more than a dozen categories, including feature films, documentaries and television.
Saturday’s show begins at 4 p.m, with DJ and actor Lance Robertson — a/k/a DJ Lance Rock — hosting.
Presenters will include Debbie Allen, Andy Garcia, Oscar-winning filmmaker Chloé Zhao, Oscar nominee Aunjanue Ellis, “King Richard” director Reinaldo Marcus Green and Oscar nominee Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, among others.
The show will be live-streamed — but with a $50 ticket fee — at americancinemaeditors.org.
Comedy film contenders are the editors of “Cruella,” “Don’t Look Up,” “The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun,” “Licorice Pizza” and “tick, tick…BOOM!”
The ACE Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award will be presented to the Sundance Institute, while career achievement awards will be presented to Lillian E. Benson and Richard Chew.
