‘Wicked,’ ‘Emilia Perez,’ ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ Among ACE Eddie Winners

“Emilia Perez” and “Wicked” won the live action feature categories at the 75th ACE Eddie Awards, were handed out Friday night at UCLA’s Royce Hall. The event was originally slated to be held on Jan, 18 but was postponed due to the L.A. fires. In response to the fires, the event also pivoted to a heartfelt fundraising event with a “come as you are” dress code.

Juliette Welfling won the best edited dramatic feature category for “Emilia Pérez” and Myron Kerstein claimed the best edited comedic feature award for “Wicked.” Accepting the award, Kerstein thanked “Wicked” director Jon M. Chu–who received Golden Eddie during the ceremony–saying “you’ve changed my life for the better and restored my hope for both the world and for cinema.”

Mary Blee won the animated feature Eddie, for “The Wild Robot;” and Monique Zavistovski collected the feature documentary prize for “Will & Harper.”

Winners in the episodic categories included Maria Gonzales and Aika Miyake for “Shogun,” Liza Cardinale and Dane McMaster for “What We Do in the Shadows,” and Peter H. Oliver and Benjamin Gerstein for “Baby Reindeer.”

Accepting the Golden Eddie, Chu called editors and all on the editing teams “great interpreters, able to deliver feelings through pictures that can change lives and change culture … no other medium in the world can do in a weekend when your work in a movie theater can.”

He continued that “when it all comes together, it’s like it was always supposed to be there. So much so people forget that it was even edited. The public thinks this is the way it always was. But you know, the director knows.” And getting a big laugh, he added, “sometimes the studio knows, the actors definitely don’t know.”

He also saluted his “Wicked” editor, calling Kerstein his “cinema soul mate”

Maysie Hoy (“McCabe & Mrs. Miller”) and Paul Hirsch (“Star Wars”) received standing ovations as they accepted Career Achievement Awards.

Hirsch saluted ACE “which has worked hard for 75 years to advance the prestige and dignity of the editing profession, promoting respect for what we do and who we are. We are artists.” With a nod to George Lucas’ “Star Wars,” he “Thank you George for the ride of my life.”

Hoy remembered the “resilience and bravery” of her family as they came to the U.S., adding “I humbly accept this extraordinary work on behalf of all the dreamers out there.”

During the evening the Anne V. Coates Editing Award was presented to Hannah Hallock of Brooklyn College.
