It’s that timeline of year again. We now have the date, venue and other details for the 2027 ACE Eddie Awards, presented by American Cinema Editors. The envelope, please.
Honoring outstanding editing in film, television, documentaries, shorts and digital content, the 77th annual Eddies ceremony is set for Saturday, February 6, returning to UCLA’s Royce Hall. Nominations will be revealed three weeks earlier, on Thursday, January 14. The eligibility period for all submissions runs from January 1-December 31, 2026. See the full timeline below.
“Editing is the invisible art that makes everything else possible, and the ACE Eddie Awards exist to make that work visible,” ACE President Sabrina Plisco said. “We are proud to bring our community together once again at UCLA’s Royce Hall to honor the editors whose art shapes every story we love.”
Three special honors will be handed during ceremony — 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. The recipients will be announced later.
The top film prizes at the 2026 Eddie Awards went to the cutters behind Sinners (for drama), One Battle After Another (comedy) and KPop Demon Hunters (animated) –– all of which went on to snag significant Oscars. The Academy Award for Best Editing went to Andy Jurgensen for eventual Best Picture winner One Battle After Another (watch his acceptance speech above). The Oscar winner for Editing also has won Best Picture for four consecutive years now.
