Oscars: “Hugo,” “The Descendants” and the Writers Guild winners in today’s Oscar news – Awards Alley
By Sean O’Connell
hollywoodnews.com: The final weekend before the Academy Awards, which will be held on Feb. 26, was bustling with Guild recognitions as Oscar contenders jockey for position and wait for what remains the biggest “game” in the entertainment industry. We’ll have ample coverage of the Oscars as the lengthy (lengthy!) marathon finally draws to a close. But for Monday morning, let’s run through the last few awards that were handed out before the Oscars finally get here:
- Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris” won best original screenplay and “The Descendants” won best adapted screenplay at the Writers Guild of America awards Sunday night. If you ask me, both will take home the Oscars next Sunday.
- “The Descendants,” (edited by Kevin Tent, A.C.E.) and “The Artist” (edited by Anne-Sophie Bion & Michel Hazanavicius) won Best Edited Feature Film (Drama) and Best Edited Feature...

I can only hope that those fine folks behind the Scripter and Ace Eddie Awards don’t take umbrage at the fact that, before this morning, I had never heard of them. It doesn’t really matter, however; a few people are giving them a big thanks at this very minute, seeing as the two groups held their respective ceremonies just last night.
The Descendants earned the USC Libraries Scripter Award, which commemorates “the author and scribes of a produced literary work-to-film adaptation” — in this case, Alexander Payne, Nat Faxon, Jim Rash, and Kaui Hart Hemmings, the lattermost of whom wrote the source material. That film and those four bested A Dangerous Method (Christopher Hampton and John Kerr), Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (Bridget O’Connor, Peter Straughan, and John le Carré), Jane Eyre (Moira Buffini and Charlotte Bronte), and Moneyball (Aaron Sorkin, Steve Zaillian, Stan Chervin, and Michael Lewis).

George Clooney, Shailene Woodley, The Descendants The Descendants (Kevin Tent) and The Artist (Anne-Sophie Bion, Michel Hazanavicius) were the two live-action narrative features to win the 2012 American Cinema Editor Awards at a ceremony held this evening at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. That shows Ace Award voters opted for more subdued film editing jobs this year: The Descendants' competitors, for instance, included David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Steven Spielberg's War Horse, and Martin Scorsese's Hugo; one of The Artist's competitors was Paul Feig's hectic comedy Bridesmaids. [Full list of Ace Eddie Award winners/nominations.] Or perhaps Ace voters just wanted to reward someone new. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo's Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter were last year's winner for Fincher's The Social Network. Hugo's Thelma Schoonmaker has already won four Ace Awards — aka Eddies — each for a Martin Scorsese-directed film: Raging Bull...

Each year American Cinema Editors [1] (Ace) recognizes the best editing of the year in narrative film, documentary and television through the Eddie Awards. The nominations for achievement in 2011 have been released [2]. They include a couple of expected films such as Hugo and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and feature a couple other inclusions that might count as surprises to some. The full list is below. This list comes from the Ace press release about this year's Eddies. In this case, I like that there are feature film categories for dramatic and comedy/musical efforts; not that editing one or the other is more difficult, but editing is such a core component of comedy and musical films, and one that so often goes unheralded and even unexamined, that it deserves a moment in the sun. Looking at the documentary selections, I was at first disappointed not to see Senna included,...

The 62nd annual Ace Eddie Awards have announced their nominees this year for the best in editing. Last year, The Social Network team of Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter rightfully won the top award, while Exit Through the Gift Shop picked it up for documentary. Out of the noms below, I’d love to see Thelma Schoonmaker pick it up for Hugo, mostly due to the last third of the film or Kevin Tent’s fitting relaxed tone on The Descendants. As for Moneyball and War Horse, outside of some well put-together sequences, both felt overlong and thus undeserving of the award. Same goes for Werner Herzog‘s Cave of Forgotten Dreams, whereas David Tedeschi’s George Harrison: Living in the Material World runs almost four hours and has excellent pacing. Check out all the noms below.
Best Edited Feature Film (Dramatic):
The Descendants

hollywoodnews.com: The American Cinema Editors announced their nominations for the 62nd Annual Ace Eddie Awards Monday morning, recognizing outstanding editing in nine categories of film, television and documentaries.
Like the Golden Globes, the editors divide their films between “Dramatic” and “Comedic” categories, so its tough to peg how (or if) they play into the five Oscar nomination slots. At the very least, you can guess that the Academy’s five nominees will come from the five features listed below.
Winners will be revealed during Ace’s 62nd annual black-tie awards ceremony on Saturday, February 18, 2012 in the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel. As previously announced, the ceremony will be hosted by actor/comedian Patton Oswalt.
