American Cinema Editors handed out its 73rd Eddie Awards on Sunday, with Top Gun: Maverick editor Eddie Hamilton and Everything Everywhere All at Once editor Paul Rogers collecting trophies for best edited dramatic feature and comedy feature, respectively.
Everything Everywhere – which won the BAFTA in film editing – and Top Gun: Maverick, along with Eddie nominees Jonathan Redmond and Matt Villa for Elvis, Monika Willi for Tár and Mikkel E.G. Nielsen for The Banshees of Inisherin are nominated for the Oscar in film editing.
Everything Everywhere’s Rogers thanked mentors, friends and family, including the Daniels, remembering cutting the movie during lockdown. He also urged diversity, saying “We can choose what stories we get to tell.” Hamilton wasn’t in attendance and colleagues accepted, reading thanks to those including Tom Cruise and Chris McQuarrie.
Also on Sunday at UCLA’s Royce Hall, Ken Schretzmann and Holly Klein collected the animated feature prize, for their work on Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio; and Erin Casper and Jocelyne Chaput topped the theatrical feature documentary competition with Fire of Love.
In the categories for series episodes, Eddie winners included John M. Valerio for the “Arrivederci” episode of The White Lotus; Simon Smith for the “One Way Out” episode of Andor; and Stephanie Filo, Bradinn French, Taylor Joy Mason and S. Robyn Wilson for the “Save My Edges, I’m A Donor” episode of A Black Lady Sketch Show.
“There are not many post teams that look like us,” said Filo of the Black Ladies Sketch Show‘s team of Black editors. “We hope to see so many more that look like us.”
The Woman King director Gina Prince-Bythewood was honored with the Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award, presented by her Love & Basketball star Sanaa Lathan. “You have given generations of girls and and women of color, heroes that look like them,” Lathan said. “You are a fierce woman just like your Woman King.”
Accepting at her alma mater, the director recognized her team, especially her “forever editor” Shropshire, who is “embedded in the DNA of my work.” She urged the community to give more artists an opportunity, saying too many are “locked out not because of a lack of talent, but a lack of opportunity.”
Bryan Cranston presented a Career Achievement Award to Emmy- and Eddie-winning Breaking Bad editor Lynne Willingham. He received applause as he said she has established herself “not as a female editor, but an editor.”
“I didn’t get her alone,” she said, thanking family, friends and colleagues from assistants to producers. She got a laugh when she thanked her husband and fellow editor Chris Willingham for his notes.
Oscar-nominated editor Don Zimmerman (Coming Home, Heaven Can Wait) also received a Career Achievement Award. Presenting, director Dean Parisot remembers landing a meeting with “Big D” when he was looking for an editor for GalaxyQuest. His wife and editor, the late Sally Menke, warned him, “Don’t mess it up.” They became great collaborators and friends, who Parisot described as a mentor.
Zimmerman thanked his colleagues, friends and family (including several who work in the business) and the “lifelong friendships” he has made. “Many of you all experience your own amazing journey and longevity in this industry as I have.”
Additional presenters included RRR director S.S. Rajamouli and Triangle of Sadness helmer Ruben Östlund.
Host Ashley Nicole Black (A Black Lady Sketch Show) got the show started, celebrating the editors and getting a big laugh when she said, “You make directors think your hard work was their idea.”
