Wicked, Emilia Pérez, The Wild Robot, Will & Harper and Road House took the film prizes at the delayed 2025 ACE Eddie Awards, which were handed out Friday night at UCLA’s Royce Hall. Shōgun, Baby Reindeer, What We Do in the Shadows and Frasier were among the TV winners at American Cinema Editors’ 75th anniversary ceremony. See the full list below.
The Eddies were postponed from the original January 18 date as Los Angeles suffered through the wildfires that devastated much of the region. The ceremony went from its usual black-tie, red carpet event to a “Come as You Are” community-building fundraiser, with a portion of ticket sales being donated to fire relief.
Universal’s Wicked won the Eddie for Best Edited Comedy Theatrical Film, Netflix’s Emilia Pérez took the Drama Theatrical Prize, and Universal/DreamWorks’ The Wild Robot uploaded Animated Feature. Wicked and Emilia Pérez also were nominated for Best Editing at the Oscars this month but lost to Sean Baker for Anora — one of his record-setting four Oscar wins that night.
Since the turn of the 21st century, the Eddie winner for theatrical drama had gone on to score the Academy Award for Best Editing 14 of 25 times — but only once in the past four years. Oppenheimer won the category at the 2024 Eddies, and the film’s Jennifer Lame going on the win the Oscar for Best Film Editing.
Netflix’s Will & Harper drove off with Documentary Feature award, and Prime Video’s Road House won for Non-Theatrical Feature Film.
Other Eddie winners from the small screen were Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Welcome to Wrexham, X-Men ’97 and Chimp Crazy. Last year’s TV winners included the editors behind FX’s The Bear and CBS’ How I Met Your Father on the comedy side and HBO’s The Last of Us for drama.
