| Emilia Pérez |
After a promising start which fizzled out somewhere along the way, Emilia Pérez has won the last big award of the season, taking Best Edited Feature Film at the Golden Eddies. Despite having a male director, the film was made mostly by women, and with women still vastly outnumbered in the editing profession it was a real triumph for Juliette Welfling - especially as she had to manage choreographed musical numbers alongside action scenes and sensitive dramatic moments, making all these disparate elements fit together.
Alongside the main prizes, Jon M Chu received the ACE Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award, while Maysie Hoy ACE and Paul Hirsch ACE received Career Achievement Awards in recognition of their outstanding contributions to film editing.
