The Australian Screen Editors' (ASE) guild has unveiled the nominees for its sixth annual awards.
The awards – nicknamed ‘The Ellies’ – recognise outstanding achievements in editing across all visual mediums and will be presented on December 4 at The Vanguard in Newtown, Sydney.
Among the feature film nominees are: Meredith Watson Jeffrey (Blame), Claire Fletcher (Mad Bastards), Dany Cooper ASE (Oranges and Sunshine), and Marcus D’Arcy (Tomorrow When the War Began). The TV drama nominees are: Nicole La Macchia (East West 101, Series 3, Episode 14), Rodrigo Balart (Hawke), Stephen Evans (Rush, Episode 308), and Martin Connor (Spirited, Series 1, Episode 2).
Actor Rob Carlton (Underbelly, Paper Giants: The Birth of Cleo) will host this year’s Ellies.
"If you're an actor, hosting the awards night for the Screen Editors is a high-stakes business," he joked. "Get it right and I'm assured lots of smouldering close-ups. Get it wrong and all you'll ever see is my ugly side in wide shots."
ASE membership is at an all time high, according to the guild, which has hosted a record number of public and industry focused events in 2011 and launched new committees in Perth and Adelaide.
Check out the current issue of IF magazine (#143 Oct-Nov) for our special feature on editing, which includes an article by ASE president Jason Ballantine ASE.
