ACE Eddie Awards Postponed Due to Los Angeles Wildfires
The 75th annual ceremony will shift to a community-focused fundraiser with proceeds supporting wildfire relief efforts.
- The ACE Eddie Awards, originally scheduled for January 18 at UCLA’s Royce Hall, have been postponed due to safety concerns from ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles.
- A new date for the awards ceremony and its accompanying Nominee Cocktail Party, initially set for January 16, has not yet been announced.
- This year’s event will transition from a black-tie gala to a “come as you are” fundraiser, with a portion of ticket sales allocated to wildfire relief efforts.
- Honorees include Jon M. Chu, receiving the ACE Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award, and editors Maysie Hoy and Paul Hirsch, who will receive Career Achievement Awards.
- Multiple other industry events, including the Writers Guild Awards and Producers Guild nominations, have also been delayed as the wildfires disrupt Hollywood’s awards season.
