Recognizing outstanding editing in film, TV and documentaries, the Eddies have a strong track record of predicting the Best Editing winner at the Academy Awards. Twenty-one of the past 28 ACE winners for best edited dramatic film and 10 of the past 14 have gone on to score the Oscar, including Lee Smith for Dunkirk last year.

In fact, the Eddies are a pretty good barometer for the Best Picture Oscar as well, predicting 17 of the past 28 winners of the Academy’s biggest prize.

Vying for Best Edited Feature Film (Dramatic) tonight are the editors behind BlackKklansman, Bohemian Rhapsody, First Man, Roma and A Star Is Born. Up for Best Edited Feature Film (Comedy) are Crazy Rich Asians, Deadpool 2, The Favourite, Green Book and Vice. Vying for the Oscar in three weeks will be BlackKklansman, Bohemian Rhapsody, The Favourite, Green Book and Vice.

Diane Haithman is reporting from the Hilton tonight, with Erik Pedersen manning the editors desk. Here are the winners so far:
