The American Cinema Editors has cut together key dates for its 2025 ACE Eddie Awards. The 75th anniversary gala is set for Saturday, January 18, at UCLA’s Royce Hall in Westwood.
Nominations for the Eddies, which honor outstanding editing in 13 film and TV categories, will be revealed Wednesday, December 11. See the full timeline below.
To be eligible, TV shows must have aired between January 1 and November 1, 2024, and films must be released in theaters during the calendar year.
“We’re thrilled to honor the year’s finest editing and mark our 75th anniversary with the entire industry,” said ACE Executive Director Jenni McCormick. “[With] the third-oldest awards show in Hollywood history, right after the Oscars and the Golden Globes, our organization continues to grow and thrive, even while navigating challenges like the pandemic and strikes, because of the incredible community that our members have created. We’re looking forward to the future and the next 75.”
Three special honorees will be feted at the ACE Eddie Awards ceremony — two Career Achievement awards to film editors of outstanding merit and the Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year award. Recipients will be announced later this year.
Oppenheimer and The Holdovers took the top film honors at the 2024 Eddies, with Oppenheimers‘s Jennifer Lame going on the win the Oscar for Best Film Editing.
Since the turn of the 21st century, the Eddie winner for theatrical drama has gone on to score the Academy Award for Best Editing 14 of 24 times — but only once in the past five years. In a twist, it was the Eddies’ 2023 comedy winner, Everything Everywhere All at Once, that ended up scooping the Oscar.
Last year’s TV winners included the editors behind FX’s The Bear and CBS’ How I Met Your Father on the comedy side and HBO’s The Last of Us for drama.
