The nomination for this year's Golden Eddies, the world's most coveted editing awards, were announced today. Big hitters like Oppenheimer and Barbie have attracted attention as expected, but there's also room for films like Air and The Super Mario Bros. Movie which have been overlooked in awards elsewhere.

This year will also see John Waters receive the ACE Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award, which recognises a filmmaker who exemplifies distinguished achievement in the art and business of film. There will be career achievement awards for editors Kate Amend, ACE and Walter Murch, ACE, and the Heritage Award will go to Stephen Lovejoy, ACE.

The winners will be revealed on 3 March, at a ceremony in Los Angeles to be hosted by Drag Race star Nina West.

Those film nominations in full:

Best Edited Feature Film (Drama, Theatrical)

Best Edited Feature Film (Comedy, Theatrical)

Best Edited Animated Feature Film

Best Edited Documentary (Theatrical)

Anne V Coates Award for Student Editing
