The ACE Eddie Awards divide its top film honors into two different awards. This year, two potential Oscar winners took those trophies. Andy Jurgensen won the Edited Feature (Comedy, Theatrical) for “One Battle After Another,” while Michael P. Shawver took the Edited Feature (Drama, Theatrical) for “Sinners.”

Other winners at the 2026 ACE Eddie Awards included Nathan Schauf, who took the Animated Film Eddie Award for “KPop Demon Hunters,” while Yvette M. Amirian won the Edited Film (Non-Theatrical) trophy for “A Winter’s Song.”
“The Pitt”, episode “6:00 PM,” edited by Mark Strand, won Drama Series. Despite it having few edits, Eric Kissack won the Single Camera Comedy Series Eddie for the “Promotion” episode of “The Studio.” Henk van Eeghen won the Limited Series category for “The Penguin,” episode “A Great or Little Thing.” Russell Griffin took the Multi-Camera Comedy Series trophy for “Frasier,” episode “Murder Most Finch.”
The Documentary Feature honor went to Viridiana Lieberman for “The Perfect Neighbor.” Edited Short went to another Oscar nominee, “All The Empty Rooms.” Documentary Series went to Damian Rodriguez or “Pee-wee as Himself – Part One.”
In a mild upset, Edited Non-Scripted Series went to “Conan O’Brien Must Go” over “The Traitors.” Edited Variety Talk/Skit Show or Special went to “Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary Special,” and Animated Series saw the “South Park” team land an Eddie.
Arthur Forney and Robert Leighton received ACE Career Achievement Awards, while Ang Lee took the ACE Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award.
