For Best Edited Drama Films, the thrilling sci-fi adaptation of Dune, as well as the Netflix psychological drama The Power of the Dog are huge standouts, as the first had a $398.3 million box office while the second was watched by over 1.2 million households. Of course, dramas aren’t the only films getting featured, as for Best Edited Comedy the powerful political satire Don’t Look Up, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and the musical Tick, Tick…BOOM!, starring Andrew Garfield, were also recognized with nominations.

Film isn’t the only medium getting its due for these awards, as the Best Edited Single-Camera Comedy Series features household favorites such as Curb Your Enthusiasm (specifically the episodes “Igor, Gregor, & Timor” and “The Mormon Advantage”) as well as Ted Lasso (specifically the episodes “No Weddings and a Funeral” and “Rainbow”). With comedies comes many great dramas, including the powerful coming-of-age story Euphoria as well as the internet favorite Korean horror series Squid Game.

Limited series haven’t been left out either, as the heart-stopping drama Mare of Easttown is up for the Best Edited Limited Series Award (specifically the episodes “Fathers” and “Illusions”). Alongside this series, the infamous HBO Max series The White Lotus is also nominated for the award (specifically the episodes “Departures” and “Mysterious Monkeys”).

The ACE Eddie Awards will feature many motion picture styles, honoring their work as they create new stories as well as new ways to tell stories that others can potentially try. Check out the full list of nominees below:
