Bong Joon Ho and Song Kang Ho celebrate their film's win

Parasite (edited by Jinmo Yang) and Jojo Rabbit (edited by Tom Eagles) won Best Edited Feature Film (Dramatic) and Best Edited Feature Film (Comedy) respectively at the 70th Annual ACE Eddie Awards last night in LA. This is a huge win for Parasite at the start of the guild awards. Though there’s no direct relation between this award and the best picture Oscar - the last film to win both is Argo (2012) - it still shows broad support...

Consider that it won over the favorite The Irishman and its legendary editor Thelma Schoonmaker. Jojo Rabbit was the only Oscar nominated film for editing in the comedy category. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was nominee here but not at the Oscars.
