ACE nominees might solidify Best Picture's likely five
"Into the Wild," "Juno," "Michael Clayton," "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood" were among the nominees of today's American Cinema Editor awards, likely solidifying the final line-up for Best Picture. Hopefuls like "Atonement" and "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" were ignored by the guild, the former having gone 1/5 with the industry's guild announcements over the last few weeks.
Here are the ACE's nominees:
BEST EDITED FEATURE FILM (DRAMATIC):
"The Bourne Ultimatum" (Christopher Rouse)
"Into the Wild" (Jay Cassidy)
"Michael Clayton" (John Gilroy)
"No Country for Old Men" (Roderick Jaynes)
"There Will Be Blood" (Dylan Tichenor)
BEST EDITED FEATURE FILM (COMEDY OR MUSICAL):
"Hairspray" (Michael Tronick)
"Juno" (Dana E. Glauberman)
"Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End" (Craig Wood & Stephen E. Rivkin)
"Ratatouille" (Darren Holmes)
"Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" (Chris Lebenzon)

Red Carpet District is Variety contributor Kristopher Tapley's attempt at making sense of the ever-expanding glut of film awards coverage. He's been on the beat for six years. Email 






I think it did, until I saw that "Diving Bell" was still alive and well with the guilds. There are six films in play for five slots at this point, however. That much is certain.

Kris, do you really think the ACE has solidified the Best Picture lineup? I think you're in for a major surprise on the 22nd my good friend.
