ACE Eddie Award Nominees Announced

If it weren’t for awards ceremonies, the city of Los Angeles would suffer an existential crisis. Thankfully, the American Cinema Editors (ACE), an association for film and television editors, is doing its part to keep Southern California from confusing itself with their very own “Eddie Awards.”
