ACE Eddie Awards Predictions and Contest

This weekend on March 5th the ACE Eddies are announcing their winners for this year. If you want to watch their live stream you can do so at this link, though it costs $50 per ticket. The Eddies should help us clarify some things, but obviously not all. It will be good to see how some films do against others, given what our perceptions are.

What we won’t see is something like what happened with Parasite, which won the Eddie and the SAG Ensemble before taking Best Picture. This year’s SAG winner, CODA, does not have an ACE Eddie nomination. Some years the Eddie can signal a winner, some year’s not. But it will be interesting to how it plays out. Here are our predictions and beneath, the contest.

Traditionally, if a film does not have an editing nomination at the Oscars it doesn’t win the ACE. That means Belfast would be out of the running, stats-wise. Still, this is a strange year and stats might not matter.

Here are the nominations and our predictions:
