While the Academy Awards may have opted not to televise the Best Editing category, thankfully, there are ceremonies that still honor what is arguably the backbone of all major productions. The American Cinema Editors (ACE) Eddie Awards recognize the editing for major films, shows, and documentaries each year. Some of 2021's hottest titles took home awards in respective categories, from King Richard to Summer of Soul.

The 72nd Annual ACE Eddie Awards was held on March 5. Presenters for the ceremony included Andy Garica, Debbie Allen, Tom Blyth, Aunjanue Ellis (King Richard), Chloé Zhao, Peter Sarsgaard (Dopesick), Questlove (Summer of Soul), and Emilio Estevez. King Richard and tick, tick... BOOM! took home the top honors for dramatic and comedic film, respectively, while Hacks and Succession were recognized on the television side of things. Additionally, Disney's Encanto and Fox's Bob Burgers were the animated works honored for film and television, respectively.

These winners could offer something of a small look at the bigger picture ahead of the Academy Awards, with both King Richard and tick, tick... BOOM! nominated for Best Picture. Yet if last year's winners are any indication, the ACE Eddies and Oscars don't traditionally line up, as Trial of the Chicago 7 and Palm Springs were the top honors last year for film. While Aaron Sorkin's Trial of the Chicago 7 was nominated for six Oscars, it did not win any, and Palm Springs was not even recognized by the Academy.
