ACE and Art Directors Guild Awards Nominations

by Murtada Elfadl

American Cinema Editors (ACE), the honorary society of film editors, today announced their nominations for 2019. For the first time in their history three foreign language films are among the nominees The Farewell, Parasite and I Lost My Body. Some of the films that solidified their awards path with editing nominations include The Irishman, Jojo Rabbit, Joker and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. All these films have been recognized by all the guild that have announced awards so far.

Missing from the list again is Little Women which was also blanked earlier today by SAG. Hustlers seems to be only about Jennifer Lopez, it missed here and so far only the costume designers showed that they have taste. Taking the spot of the contemporary crowd pleaser with both guilds is Knives Out.

The big miss with the production design guild awards is again Little Women. Marriage Story also didn’t make the cut, production designers becoming the first award body to blank that film. The full lists are after the jump.....

The omissions of Little Women are reminiscent of the fate of Carol, another pre-awards favorite missing again and again and falling way short at the Oscars.

I’m really surprised 1917 missed with the Editors Guild. I’m sure the late screenings and the whole “one shot” style hurt it, but I still assumed that the love for war/action films would push it through. This snub along with yesterday’s miss at the Cinema Audio Society awards makes me think the industry might not be too high on this one.

I am NOT going to take this as a sign that I need to watch MALEFICENT 2. I am NOT going to take this as a sign that I need to watch MALEFICENT 2. I am NOT...

I would give the best editing to "Ford vs Ferrari

December 11, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterJaragon

Where’s Pain and Glory?! That cave!

December 11, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterBrad

I saw a preview screening of 1917 with a regular audience in Times Square Regal theater. It was just okay. Response wasn’t that enthusiastic. The craft is there, but it feels more like a video game, and I don’t really mean that kindly. I just think, a lot of people are trying to make this film happen, but you can’t force these things.

December 11, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterJoseph

This may be super obscure but I'm fascinated by the distinction between "commercial television" vs "non-commercial television." I'd never thought about it before, but it seems to obvious the task of editing for a broadcast format that includes commercials is really different than editing for a show that doesn't take breaks.

December 11, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterRV

I don’t get the editing nod for OUATIH, because the editing is one of the worst things about it.

But I’m very happy for the citation for the Linda Ronstadt doc. A great way to follow the Kennedy Center Honors this past weekend.

What did the ADG think of the SPACE in Marriage Story? LMAO

December 11, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterFadhil

brookesboy: I know what you mean about the editing in OUATIH, but I thought the editing during the ranch sequence was outstanding - as good as the La Louisiane sequence in Inglourious Basterds. It felt as though, three films in as Tarantino's new lead editor, Fred Raskin delivered a piece as impeccable as the late Sally Menke at her best. The ranch sequence spun the film around for me, turning it from a fascinating jaunt to an ominous thriller.

I'm convinced LITTLE WOMEN's commercial performance - likely a gangbusters one - will greatly help it in advance of Oscar noms morning.

December 12, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterAndrew Carden

Edward--I know lots of folks love that sequence. But it did not work for me. I'm not a huge Tarantino fan, but I've always admired his talent at creating suspense. Here, I didn't feel it. I'm probably in the minority. The movie as a whole really wandered all over the place--not in a welcoming way, but in a fairly messy way, I thought. It was though the director's indulgence was coming to the forefront, again. This has nothing to do with the editing, but the ending really sunk the film for me. There were plenty of enjoyable elements, not the least of which is Margot's performance. But that ending just left a very bad taste in my mouth. Sigh.

December 12, 2019 | Unregistered Commenterbrookesboy

"Killing Eve" has 2 nominations in the same category?

Glad to see "Crazy Ex Girlfriend" still getting love.

Wouldn't imaging Editing is too big a factor for "Marriage Story" or "Little Women", though I haven't seen them yet.

"OUATIH" was mesmerizing in the Ranch scene.

December 12, 2019 | Unregistered Commenterforever1267

RV -- i totally agree. it is totally different rhytms... it started becoming clear to me after streaming began and you would see old shows without commercial interruptions and the pacing was always so staccato.
