American Cinema Editors announced its 2021 awards schedule with the Eddies slated for Sunday, April 18. Presentation details are not yet confirmed.
The organization also added a new category, “animation non-theatrical,” which covers animated series or other animated programs that go directly to broadcast or streaming services. A theatrical feature animation category was added to the Eddies lineup in 2010.
