The seaon barrels forward waiting for no man! ACE (American Cinema Editors) have announced their nominees and it's the talented cutters who worked on Best Picture hopefuls. Like Pamela Martin here, who so beautifully responded to David O. Russell's squirrely rhythms and caught indelible acting moments with precision.

The snubs of note here, in terms of the Oscar race -- which is a different discussion than pure category worth since each awards season reminds us that Hollywood only makes ten movies each calendar year and they're brilliant in ALL categories -- are 127 Hours and True Grit. This is especially bad news for 127 Hours since Danny Boyle's films are nothing if not edited if you know what I mean. One could immediately assume that it's going to fall from the Best Picture list but then Winter's Bone hasn't scored with any guilds so... who knows? Both have obsessed fans and thus #1 votes. So maybe it'll be The Town that can't rally or something we assume is safe that isn't? True Grit? I'm still worried about The Kids Are All Right but that's probably just because it's so high up my own top ten list.
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE...
More Editing honors to come. ACE, like many guilds, has several categories including Comedy (a far worthier list than the Globes came up with). So there's a few more to cover. Plus: Visual Effects.
