“Oppenheimer” got a big boost in its bid for Best Editing at the Oscars with a win at the Ace Golden Eddie Awards on March 3. It prevailed in the drama race at these awards bestowed by American Cinema Editors over two of its Oscar rivals –“Anatomy of a Fall” and “Killers of the Flower Moon ” — as well as “Maestro” and “Past Lives.”
Another of the Oscar nominees, “The Holdovers ” won the comedy/musical category over the fifth Oscar contender, “Poor Things,” plus “Air”, “American Fiction” and “Barbie.”
Since 1990, the film that came up with one of the ACEs went on to win the top prize at the Academy Awards 19 times, including the 2023 winner for best comedy/musical editing, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and the 2020 winner for best drama editing, “Parasite.” And in 10 of the 14 years when the Ace barometer was wrong, at least one of the Eddie champs was a contender for Best Picture.

Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” topped the dramatic feature editing category at the American Cinema Editors’ 74th Ace Eddie Awards, while “The Holdovers” won the category for best edited comedic feature during Sunday’s ceremony at UCLA’s Royce Hall.
Jennifer Lame edited “Oppenheimer,” which also took top honors at last week’s SAG Awards and Producers Guild Awards. The recent honor further cements the film’s position to take top prize at the Oscars next weekend. But she faces competition from Kevin Tent, who won here for “The Holdovers.”
Should Lame go on to win the Oscar, it will mark nine years since a woman has won. Margaret Sixel won in 2015 for “Mad Max: Fury Road.”
Tent, also president of Ace, kicked off the ceremony addressing last year’s labor strikes, saying, “It’s great to look out and see so many rock star editors…Last year was an extraordinarily...

The nominations for the 2024 Ace Eddie Awards announced on Thursday (Jan. 25) include our Oscar frontrunner for Best Film Editing, “Oppenheimer,” along with the other four films contending in that race: “Anatomy of a Fall,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Poor Things” and “The Holdovers.”
The Ace Eddie Awards divide their prizes for editing between dramas and comedies/musicals.

The American Cinema Editors have taken the time when most of us are still enjoying a little bit of downtime before truly getting back into the swing of things this new year to announce the film and television nominees for the 65th Annual Ace Eddie Awards. Among the nominees are a couple of personal favorites in Whiplash (Tom Cross) and The Imitation Game (William Goldbenbrrg). I also think something must be said for Boyhood, though editing a film over the course of 12 years doesn't really leave much wiggle room. You're essentially editing 12 short films because once you're a year removed... you're a year removed. There are six nominees in the Best Edited Feature Film (Dramatic) category as a result of a tie providing for one additional nominee for the second time ever. Among the comedy/musical nominees I would like to believe The Grand Budapest Hotel (Barney Pilling) would be the front-runner,...

Other nominees for the top dramatic film honor at the awards known as the Ace/Eddies are “American Sniper,” “Gone Girl,” “The Imitation Game,” “Nightcrawler” and “Whiplash.” The category had six nominees instead of five because of a tie.

If you were looking for things to be shaken up a little bit in this year's Oscar race, the American Cinema Editors (Ace) offered a slight jolt Friday with the organization's 65th annual list of nominees for film editing. And if you were wondering if "Nightcrawler" might make a serious play on the circuit, well… I will say I was wondering that. So much so that I had a piece prepped focusing on its potential before today's announcement, which included the film in a dramatic feature category that featured a tie for the first time ever. (The animated field saw a tie yielding four nominees in 2012, while "Babel" and "The Departed" actually tied for the dramatic win in 2006, but there hasn't been a tie leading to an extra nominee in the dramatic or comedy/musical categories before.) Powerhouse Oscar players "Boyhood" and "The Imitation Game" unsurprisingly joined the party, and ditto Sundance hit "Whiplash.

Editfest, a weekend seminar focusing on the craft and business of editing, which first took place last year in Los Angeles, is expanding to New York, where it will take place Friday and Saturday, June 12 and 13 at the Directors Guild of America at 110 W. 57th Street.
American Cinema Editors and Manhattan Edit Workshop are co-producing the two-day event.
"One of Ace's highest priorities is to help educate and mentor the next generation of editors," Ace president Randy Roberts said. "Editfest is a unique opportunity for attendees to spend time with some of the most accomplished editors working in film and television today."
Confirmed panelists include: Michael Berenbaum; Scott Brock; Robert Eisenhardt; Ken Eluto; Alexander Hall; Tom Haneke; Brian Kates; Anne McCabe; Craig McKay; Bill Pankow; Lee Percy; Sam Pollard; Jay Rabinowitz; Meg Reticker; Stephen Rotter; Kate Sanford; Karen Schmeer; Larry Silk; Tim Squyres; Kate Sanford; Thelma Schoonmaker; Troy Takaki; Chris...

The last time Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson did the rom-com thing was in 2003's middling How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
They are reunited in an adventure comedy by the name of Fool's Gold, though it could have been called "How to Lose an Audience in 10 Minutes."
A soggy, listless affair, this would-be fun-in-the-sun sunken-treasure frivolity starts taking on water from the get-go, thanks to drawn-out exposition and languid pacing.
Director Andy Tennant has demonstrated a Midas touch with such movies as Hitch and Sweet Home Alabama, though without a Will Smith or Reese Witherspoon to ride out those rough patches, "Fool's Gold" likely will mine a lot less lucre, especially given a market that's currently awash in date-night fare.
McConaughey's Ben "Finn" Finnegan is a career booty hunter whose burning obsession concerns the legendary Queen's Dowry, a shipload of priceless Spanish treasure believed to have sunk in Caribbean waters in the early 1700s.
His latest ill-fated expedition has landed him in deep water with ruthless rapper-gangster Bigg Bunny (Kevin Hart), with whom he already is in escalating debt.
While Finn is being forced to walk the plank off Bigg Bunny's boat, his ex is about to mark the spot on their divorce papers.
Even though the Queen's Dowry was what initially brought them together, for the past eight years Kate Hudson's Tess has watched their marriage continually place second to Finn's undersea pursuits.
Determined to get her life back on track, she's been working as a steward aboard the Precious Gem, a huge yacht owned by billionaire Nigel Honeycutt (Donald Sutherland).
But when Finn finds a shard of a plate that puts the treasure in the immediate vicinity, all is forgiven, and the pair resume the joint hunt with Nigel's support, along with his alarmingly dimwitted daughter (an amusing Alexis Dziena).
Although it's easy to see the appeal of this sort of vehicle -- think a sexier National Treasure -- the end product, with a script credited to Tennant along with the team of John Claflin & Daniel Zelman, has all the buoyancy and shimmer of a shipwreck.
And it's not just all that water slowing everything down.
There's also endless speculating about the coordinates of the Queen's Dowry that gets so involved that Nigel's daughter isn't the only one whose eyes become permanently glazed over.
Not surprisingly, that escapist, tropical location (with Queensland, Australia, standing in for the Caribbean because of hurricane season) affords ample opportunity for topless scenes.
But enough about McConaughey.
Hudson, meanwhile, opts to keep her shirt on, and though she and her co-star have an easy chemistry, her stiffly written character harnesses her in a constricted performance that cheats the audience out of her usual comedic gifts.
Production values, from Don Burgess' sun-drenched cinematography to George Fenton's calypso-infused score, do their bit to set the breezy tone, but where's Jimmy Buffett when you really need him?

Intended as a satire of and homage to the kind of movies he used to watch growing up in the San Fernando Valley, Darren Stein's "Jawbreaker" is sorry proof that imitation is not necessarily the sincerest form of flattery.
This "Clueless"/"Heathers"/"Carrie"/"Grease"/"Rock 'n' Roll High School" wannabe, which played at the Sundance Film Festival, is a lazy cut-and-paste job that squanders a talented cast, not to mention the big screen debut of the Donna's, a quartet of teenage rockers that have rightfully been dubbed the female Ramones.
Attempting to catch the current wave of high school pictures, the Columbia TriStar release still might generate some initial interest from those expecting something else -- like a horror movie -- before washing up on the home video shore.
Courtney Shayne (Rose McGowan), Julie Freeman (Rebecca Gayheart) and Marcie Fox (Julie Benz) are members of a bad girl clique who have a crisis situation on their well-manicured hands when a prank goes horribly wrong, leaving girlfriend Liz Purr (Charlotte Roldan) asphyxiated in the trunk of a car with a jawbreaker lodged prominently in her esophagus.
To make matters worse, their cover-up plans have been overheard by school wallflower Fern Mayo (Judy Greer) who threatens to alert the authorities. That is, until the truly diabolical Courtney makes Fern an offer she can't refuse -- in exchange for her silence, she'll be given a complete bad girl makeover.
But the rechristened "Vylette" turns out to be a very quick study, and soon threatens Courtney's "most popular" status.
Newcomer Stein, whose talent for writing female characters is pretty much limited to having them call each other "bitch" (or worse), has spewed out a crassly uninspired script that is neither as clever nor as funny as it apparently thinks it is.
Limited by their lines, leads McGowan, Gayheart, Benz and, particularly the transformed Greer nevertheless have fun being nasty.
In a nod to his influences, Stein recruited Carol Kane ("When a Stranger Calls"), Jeff Conaway ("Grease"), William Katt ("Carrie") and P.J. Soles ("Rock 'n' Roll High School") to play an assortment of clued-out adults.
His technical skills in the directing department are somewhat better, although the persistent MTV-esque style ultimately comes across more as imitative than fresh. There's some nice energetic work from director of photography Amy Vincent ("Eve's Bayou") and some bright flourishes from costume designer Vikki Brinkkord ("Clueless"); the Donna's provide a spunky presence on the soundtrack as well as in a performance during the picture's pivotal prom night sequence.
Their brand of no-nonsense, nonposturing, straight-ahead rock 'n' roll lends "Jawbreaker" an element of street credibility it really doesn't deserve.
