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.....
