“We’re thrilled to honour the year’s finest editing and mark our 75th anniversary with the entire industry,” said ACE Executive Director Jenni McCormick. “As the third oldest awards show in Hollywood history, right after the Oscars® and the Golden Globes®, we’ve been celebrating the best and brightest in our industry for 75 years. Our organization continues to grow and thrive, even while navigating challenges like the pandemic and strikes, because of the incredible community that our members have created. We’re looking forward to the future and the next 75.”
