“Ford v Ferrari,” “The Irishman,” “Joker,” “Marriage Story” and “Parasite” have been nominated in the dramatic-film category at the American Cinema Editors’ ACE Eddie Awards, which honor the best in film editing.
In the comedy category, the nominees were “Dolemite Is My Name,” “The Farewell,” “Jojo Rabbit,” “Knives Out” and “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood.”
The most notable omission was “1917,” which contains dozens of cuts but was designed to look as if it was filmed in one continuous, unbroken shot.
In recent years, more than 90 percent of the Oscar nominees in the Best Film Editing category have first been recognized by the American Cinema Editors. The majority of Oscar nominees have come from the ACE Eddie dramatic category – though for the last two years, the Academy has taken three nominees from the ACE Eddies’ comedy category and only two from the drama category.
The animated-film nominees were Disney’s “Frozen II,” Pixar’s “Toy Story 4” and the hand-drawn French film “I Lost My Body.” Documentary nominees included “Apollo 11,” “American Factory,” “Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice” and “Leaving Neverland.”
The nominations for “Parasite,” “The Farewell” and “I Lost My Body” make this the first time that three films predominantly not in English have been nominated by the editors.
Television nominees included “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” “Schitt’s Creek,” “Barry,” “Fleabag,” “Killing Eve,” “Mindhunter” and “Game of Thrones.”
The 70th annual ACE Eddie Awards will take place on Jan. 17, 2020 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
