In each of the last 18 years, no film has gone to winning the Best Editing Oscar without at being nominated for an Eddie Award first.
Following the ACE Eddie Awards in Beverly Hills, California, Friday night, Dunkirk seems to have picked up momentum in its quest for the Best Editing Oscar.
In the Best Edited Comedy Feature category, Tatiana S. Riegel took the Eddie for the Tonya Harding biopic I, Tonya, which is also nominated for a Best Editing Oscar.
In addition to Dunkirk and I, Tonya, the films vying for the Best Editing Oscar are Baby Driver; Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri; and The Shape of Water.
