Elvis editing duo Matt Villa and Jonathan Redmond are celebrating a double triumph after backing up their Ellie Award for Best Editing in a Feature Drama on Saturday with the AACTA Award for Best Editing in Film on Monday.
The pair were among 15 winners announced by the Australian Screen Editors (ASE) at the National Maritime Museum, with categories spanning drama, children’s entertainment, comedy, documentary, factual entertainment, reality, news and current affairs, commercial, corporate and branded, music video and open content.
Hosted by comedian Suren Jayemanne, the awards were the second Ellies to be held this year, following the postponed 2021 event in February, but the first to be held in person since 2019.
ASE president Danielle Boesenberg told IF there was “a fantastic feeling in the room”.
“There was a real buzz,” she said.
“It was like the last few years never happened, which was really wonderful,” she said.
Of the other drama categories, Mark Perry won Best Editing in Drama for The Twelve while Rishi Shukla took out Best Editing in a Short Drama for Stonefish.
In documentary, Frances Elliott and Samantha Marlowe added to their major award at last month’s AWGIEs with the ASE Award for Best Editing in a Documentary and Series for Girl Like You, with Meredith Watson Jeffrey and Tania Nehme winning Best Editing in a Documentary for Facing Monsters.
There was also more triumph for the US version of Love on the Spectrum following its Emmy wins, as John Rosser, Rachel Grierson-Johns, and Simon Callow-Wright took out Best Editing in Factual Entertainment for episode six.
As part of the ceremony, the ASE gave accreditation to Sean Lahiff and Jack Hutchings, while Lawrie Silvestrin and long-time ASE administrator Margaret Slarke were honoured as life members.
