In four of the last 10 years, the winner of the Eddie for best edited dramatic feature went on to win the Oscar in film editing. A year ago, The Trial of the Chicago 7 won the Eddie for best edited dramatic feature while Sound of Metal claimed the Oscar in film editing.
In the Eddies’ animated feature category, ACE nominated the editors of Encanto, Luca, The Mitchells vs. the Machines, Raya and the Last Dragon and Sing 2. The animated feature category was introduced in 2010. Since then, the film that won the Eddie has mirrored the recipient of the Oscar for best animated feature all but once (in 2015, when The Lego Movie won the Eddie and Big Hero Six grabbed the Oscar).
The editors of Flee, The Rescue, Summer of Soul, Val and The Velvet Underground were nominated for the Eddie in the feature documentary competition. In seven of the last 10 years, the winner of this category went on to win the Oscar for best feature documentary, including a year ago when My Octopus Teacher won both awards.
Several series received multiple nominations in their respective categories, including Kevin Can F**k Himself, with three nominations, and Curb Your Enthusiasm, Mare of Easttown, The White Lotus, Succession and Ted Lasso with two apiece. Amy E. Duddleston was nominated for both episodes of Mare of Easttown, sharing the nom for the “Fathers” episode with Naomi Sunrise Filoramo.
As previously announced, the Sundance Institute and its founding senior director of artist programs, Michelle Satter, will receive the Golden Eddie during the ACE ceremony, while Lillian E. Benson (Eyes on the Prize) and Richard Chew (Star Wars) will receive Career Achievement Awards.
