American Cinema Editors has stitched together the nominees for its 76th annual Eddie Awards next month. See the full list below.

Vying for the marquee Best Edited Feature Film (Drama, Theatrical) prize are the editors for Best Picture Oscar nominees F1, Hamnet, Sentimental Value and Sinners, along with Weapons. Up for the Feature Film (Comedy, Theatrical) award are Bugonia, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another — all also in the Best Picture race — Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery and Wicked: For Good.

Winners will be revealed during the 2026 ACE Eddie Awards ceremony on Friday, February 27, at UCLA’s Royce Hall.
