Australian Screen Editors’ Guild nominates Blame, Hawke and The Ball among nominees
The Australian Screen Editors’ (ASE) Guild has announced its nominees for the 2011 Ellie Awards, to be held on Sunday 4 December at the Vanguard in Newtown, Sydney.
Across seven categories, the ASE Guild recognises achievements in editing across feature film, television, documentary, music videos, commercials and short films.
Blame, Mad Bastards, Oranges and Sunshine and Tomorrow When the War Began, are all up for an award. So to is East West 101, Jandamarra’s War, Spirited, short film Something Fishy, Carlton Draught’s Slo Mo ad and Tim and Jean’s music video for Don’t Stop.
The awards are nicknamed the Ellies after the bronzed elephant statues.
Actor Rob Carlton (Underbelly, Paper Giants) is to host the night. Carlton said he feels the pressure to nail the night: “If you’re an actor, hosting the Awards night for the Screen Editors is a high-stakes business. 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.”
