In a mildly interesting turn of events, if below-the-line categories at the Oscars are your thing, occurred last night as Captain Phillips was named the Best Edited Feature Drama by the American Cinema Editors (ACE) at the 2014 Eddie Awards while American Hustle won in the comedy category.
Now this doesn’t mean anything in the Best Picture race at the Oscars as we’re still looking at a battle between 12 Years a Slave and Gravity there, but this does make the Editing race a little more interesting.
In the animated category it was Frozen taking the win and 20 Feet from Stardom won for Best Documentary Editing.
