Patton Oswalt hosted the 62nd annual ACE Eddy Awards in Beverly Hills. This event is the yearly awards presentation for film and TV editors. Frequently, the winners at the event are also the Emmy and Oscar winners too. The award for Best Feature Film went to Kevin Tent for editing The Descendants. The best one hour non commercial Eddy went to the editor of Homeland. Coincidentally, the writers had their awards last night too and Homeland did very well. I expect this show to have a good Emmy night.
With the event, there were some movers and shakers of the industry present. Clint Eastwood gave a nice talk about editors and their art. The event concluded with a nice party and likely Academy Awards talk too.
Tonight, Sunday the 19th, it the Motion Picture Sound Editors Golden Reel Awards show. I have three friends in attendance having been nominated for an award. They did the sound for a Tim Tebow ESPN special. Tim is in attendance with them. I wish them all the luck, and would be very proud if they came home with awards. The MPSE is also another Academy Awards pre-show. It's likely the films that win there will win the Academy and Emmy awards show upcoming.
It's awards season and the weekends are all showcasing our best projects coming to us on TV and movie theaters. It's quite possible to stay connected, even from Orlando.
