Got a Tip?

ACE Award Editing Nominees Include ‘Zero Dark Thirty,’ ‘Argo,’ Skyfall,’ ‘Lincoln,’ ‘Life Of Pi’ & More

nullSo, the editing awards right? It's usually the part of the Oscar broadcast that for many is a good time to hit the bathroom, or refill on cheese dip, but to those who know their awards history, it's an important category. Usually, a nomination for Best Picture and Best Editing indicates a strong than usual shot to take the big prize, and winning the category, has often proven in the past to be the first step to victory at the end end of evening. And today, the American Cinema Editors (ACE) announced the nominations for the 63rd Annual ACE Eddie Awards, which could indicate where the votes go in February.

Like the Golden Globes, they break this up into Dramatic and Comedy/Musical, and in the former category perhaps the biggest surprise is "Skyfall," which earned 5 Oscar nominations, but not Best Editing. All the Oscar nominees — "Argo," "Life Of Pi," "Lincoln," "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Silver Linings Playbook" are repped here, while "Les Miserables" got a nod too, but didn't make the cut in the category at the Oscars. It's always interesting to see who the colleagues will support and if that narrative will also play out on Oscar night, but as always, anything can happen.

The Eddies will be handed out on February 16th. Full nominees including television and documentary categories below.
