ACE Eddie Awards 2024 Date Set; Timeline For Eligibility, Submission, Nominations & Voting Confirmed

American Cinema Editors (ACE) has set the time for the 74th Annual ACE Eddie Awards which celebrates editing in 13 categories of film and television.

The eligibility period for both film and television categories is the airing or release in theaters between Jan. 1-Dec. 31, 2023. The ACE Eddie Awards are scheduled to be held on Sunday, March 3, at UCLA’s Royce Hall in Los Angeles.

“Since the Golden Reel Awards are also set for March 3rd, we collaborated with our partners at the Motion Picture Sound Editors Guild to make sure that both the sound and picture editing communities could attend both the ACE Eddie Awards and the Golden Reel Awards to celebrate together,” stated ACE Executive Director Jenni McCormick.

Three special honors will be handed out at the ACE Eddie Awards ceremony including two Career Achievement recipients presented to film editors of outstanding merit and the Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year honor presented to a filmmaker who exemplifies distinguished achievement in the art and business of film.

Also announced that evening is the winner of the Anne V. Coates Student Editing Competition.
