Jennifer Lame took the Edited Feature Film (Drama, Theatrical) prize at the 2024 ACE Eddie Awards. A trophy that will sit alongside her BAFTA Award and almost guaranteed Academy Award win. This was Lame’s third ACE Eddie Award nomination and her first win.
Best Edited Feature Film (Comedy, Theatrical) went to Kevin Tent for “The Holdovers.” Best Edited Animated Film went to “Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse.” Best Edited Documentary Film went to the Oscar-snubbed “Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie.”
On the television, side “The Bear,” “How I Met Your Father,” and “The Last of Us” were big winners. “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” surprised in the Variety, Sketch, or Special category despite only being released in theaters and for digital download and being classified by every other guild as a movie.
The daytime ceremony saw John Waters honored with the Ace Golden Eddie Award. Kate Amend and Walter Much earned Career Achievement Honors while Stephen Lovejoy took the ACE Heritage Award.
