“Everything Everywhere at Once” took home another top movie prize at another award show on Sunday. At the American Cinema Editors (ACE) Eddie Awards, the maximalist film directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert won Best Edited Feature Film (Comedy, Theatrical) for Paul Rogers’ work tying together all those multiverses. On the drama side of theatrical film releases, “Top Gun: Maverick” edited by Eddie Hamilton took top honors.
Some of the film winners were surprises, with “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio,” edited by Ken Schretzman and Holly Klein, winning again. And “Fire of Love,” edited by Erin Kasper and Jocelyn Chaput, followed its recent DGA win with another win in the documentary category. (It beat out the PGA Doc winner, “Navalny”.)
In general, the ACE Eddie Award for Film Editing has been a fairly reliable predictor of Oscar success in the Best Film Editing category, with the two awards coinciding about two-thirds of the time in the ACE Eddies’ 61-year history. But after a 10-year series between 2001 and 2010, the groups have agreed only four times in the last 11 years.
In every case except one, the Oscar goes to the film that won the ACE Eddie for Drama Editing. The one exception was 2002’s “Chicago” which won for comedy or music editing before taking home the Oscar.
Meanwhile, “The Bear,” “The Neighborhood,” “Endor” and “The White Lotus” were among the winners in the television categories.
