“Everything Everywhere All at Once” took yet another top film prize at yet another awards show on Sunday. At the American Cinema Editors (ACE) Eddie Awards, the maximalist movie directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert won Best Edited Feature Film (Comedy, Theatrical) for Paul Rogers’ work that stitched together all those multiverses. On the drama side of theatrical film releases, “Top Gun: Maverick,” edited by Eddie Hamilton, took top honors.
Surprises were few among the film winners, with “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio,” edited by Ken Schretzmann and Holly Klein, triumphing yet again. And “Fire of Love,” edited by Erin Casper and Jocelyne Chaput, followed up its recent DGA win with another victory in the documentary category. (It beat 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 matching about two-thirds of the time over the 61-year history of the ACE Eddies. But after a 10-year streak of matches between 2001 and 2010, the groups have agreed only four times in the last 11 years.
In every case except one, the Oscar has gone to the film that won the ACE Eddie for drama editing. The one exception was 2002’s “Chicago” which won for comedy or musical editing before taking the Oscar.
Meanwhile, “The Bear,” “The Neighborhood,” “Andor” and “The White Lotus” were among the winners in the television categories.
