Tonight the American Cinema Editors (ACE) will announce their Eddie winners. When it was announced that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood missed out on an Oscar nomination for editing, that was the film’s first and only miss of the Best Picture stats. The question is, can it prevail tonight at the Eddies It is nominated tonight for editing for a comedy, but it is up against Jojo Rabbit, which does have an editing nomination.
Here are the films that have both Eddie and Oscar nominations for Best Editing:
The Irishman
Parasite
Joker
Jojo Rabbit
Ford v Ferrari
The Eddie nominees that don’t have an Oscar nomination are:
Marriage Story
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Knives Out
The Farewell
Dolemite Is My Name
The other nominations are:
Documentary Feature:
Apollo 11
American Factory
Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice
Making the Waves
Animated:
Toy Story 4
Frozen 2
I Lost My Body
History tells us that the winner in musical/comedy will have to be Jojo Rabbit and not Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, unless we’re in a stat-busting kind of year due to the unprecedented rush in voting. The last live action film without an Oscar editing nomination that won the Eddie over an Oscar nominee(s) was WarGames.
Here are our predictions for tonight:
Drama:
The Irishman — Clarence Moye
Ford v Ferrari — Sasha Stone, Ryan Adams, Marshall Flores
Comedy:
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood — Moye, Adams
Jojo Rabbit — Stone, Flores
Documentary:
Apollo 11 — Adams, Stone, Flores, Moye
Animated:
I Lost My Body — Adams
Toy Story 4 — Stone, Flores, Moye

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood should win this… and…
The editors Branch of the Academy should send a “please forgive us” note to both Tarantino and Fred Raskin
Does anyone know what time the winners will be announced?
See for yourself at ACE and AMPAS websites. But Yang Jin-mo for Parasite, for one.
That’s why I think FvF or Joker are winning. Whoever wins Drama Eddie and BAFTA, I’ll predict it to the Oscar.
The Irishman editing was Thelma Schoonmaker. at her worst . A boring bloated pretentious mess that put people to sleep and she gets a nomination?
To be fair, she can only work with that she is given. I don’t think she would decide the film’s structure or length. If anything she probably made it watchable! A little. It is too messy, but for me there is no denying her ability to craft a scene. There were just too many of them. By about an hour!!!!
Who?
A win here may return OATIH in BP race – that’ll show that editors still count on it and Oscar snub was just accidental.
To be fair, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was never going to win for editing even if it was nominated. I could see it getting the ACE Eddie tonight, though, which would be a sign of the movie’s strength. Otherwise the safe bet would be for Jojo Rabbit to win here.
Because one was by AMPAS and several by ACE.
Not too much chatter on how no editors of color were nominated.
Non-documentary stand outs in editing for me this year were:
Parasite
Honey Boy
Monos
Midsommar
The Lighthouse

Uncut Gems
Marriage Story
Ford v Ferrari
Parasite film editor is Asian
Since this is a post about ACE and Film Editing, here is a fun stat for those trying to predict which film will win at the Oscars. The last film to win the Oscar for Film Editing without any nominations in the Sound categories was The Departed in 2007. Every film editing winner was had a least one sound nomination.
2008: The Bourne Supremacy (also won both Sounds)
2009: Slumdog Millionaire (also won Sound Mixing)
2010: The Hurt Locker (also won both Sounds)
2011: The Social Network (also nominated for Sound Mixing)
2012: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (also nominated for both Sounds)
2013: Argo (also nominated for both Sounds)
2014: Gravity (also won both Sounds)
2015: Whiplash (also won Sound Mixing)
2016: Mad Max: Fury Road (also won both Sounds)
2017: Hacksaw Ridge (also won Sound Mixing and was nominated in Sound Editing)
2018: Dunkirk (also won both Sounds)
2019: Bohemian Rhapsody (also won both Sounds)
Lopez? Lupita? Forget them. The BIGGEST Oscar snub was Fred Raskin not receiving the best edited film of the year: Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. I mean, really? REALLY? To me this was such a no-brainer. I hope Mr. Raskin wins the Eddie tonight. He more than deserves the honor
The best film editing I saw all year was Apollo 11, hands down. Todd Douglas Miller deserves all the editing awards for that Herculean achievement. It’s a shame the Academy usually ignores documentaries in this category, as they typically feature some of the best editing every year.
Apollo 11
Minding The Gap
Hale County This Morning, This Evening
OJ: Made In America
Cameraperson
Just to name a few.
Spotting the important parts: does this mean Marshall is back with the site? Or was this like a one-time contribution of his thoughts?
FvF, OUATIH, American Factory.
I’m guessing that that OUATIH miss was a fluke and they’ll pay it no mind…
