“Top Gun: Maverick” and “Everything Everywhere All At Once” among ACE Eddie Awards 2023 winners. Full list.
“Top Gun: Maverick” topped the dramatic feature editing category at the American Cinema Editors 73rd ACE Eddie Awards, while “Everything Everywhere All At Once” won the category for best edited comedic feature during Sunday’s ceremony at UCLA’s Royce Hall.
The ACE Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award, recognizing a filmmaker who exemplifies distinguished achievements in the art and business of film, was presented to Gina Prince-Bythewood for her body of work, including her latest film “The Woman King.”
Editors Lynne Willingham, ACE, and Don Zimmerman, ACE, were honored with career achievement awards for outstanding contributions to film editing.
Bryan Cranston presented Willingham with the Career Achievement Award. He praised her contribution to editing and said, “Lynne didn’t set out to be a trailblazer for other female editors. She has been a mentor and an inspiration to many women working in film and TV paving the way for a new generation.”
Zimmerman told the audience he had fallen into editing through a friend and realized this was for him.
With credits that include “Rocky IV” and “Heaven Can Wait,” he called editing an art form.
