The American Cinema Editors (ACE) announced the nominees for the 2013 ACE Eddie Awards today and among them are all five Oscar nominees, four of them -- Argo, Life of Pi, Lincoln and Zero Dark Thirty -- in the Dramatic category and the fifth, Silver Linings Playbook, in the Comedy/Musical category.
There isn't really too much else to say about the noms considering in previous years these nominations came out before the Oscar nominations were announced giving reason to speculate on which of the several films would end up nominated for Oscars. Considering that's not the case this year, this will all become a little more interesting when they announce their winners on Saturday, February 16.
For now, the nominees are listed below in the Dramatic, Musical or Comedy, Animated and Documentary categories.

Two words... Cloud Atlas.
Cloud Atlas was so underrated...
It was one of the best films of the past year.
Agreed. Even with all its faults, CLOUD ATLAS is astounding in its ambition and scale, to the extent where the mind boggles thinking about how the directors managed to balance so much at once, yet not lose the viewer. It was a major feat, and I'm speaking as someone not keen on sci-fi.
After the nomination announcement yesterday, everything that's happened now and for the next days is gonna be anticlimactic.
I still don't get why Comedies and Musicals are lumped together. I understand why "Mamma Mia" should contend with the comedies, but "Walk the Line", "Les Miserables" and "Moulin Rouge!" should most definitely contend with the dramas. This has always been silly to me.
