65th Annual ACE EDDIE Awards Winners

Last night the group had their black-tie ceremony where trophies were handed out in ten categories of film, television and documentary.

Award-winning filmmaker Frank Marshall received the ACE Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year, Career Achievement Awards went to industry veterans Diane Adler and Jerry Greenberg. The Robert Wise Award, which has only been presented a few times in the organization history, was presented to journalist Carolyn Giardina of The Hollywood Reporter.

If one movie I do believe deserves an editing award for job well done is Boyhood as is hard to imagine the amount of material an editor has to deal after 12 years of filming and how figure out how much story time to give to each age and body-change of the protagonist.  The movie won Best Edited Drama.

Winners are in *BLUE.
