Up and Avatar continue to expand their collection of honors and awards trophies as Hollywood rolls on toward next month’s Academy Awards.
This weekend saw Up take the American Cinema Editors’ Eddie awards for best animated feature film, beating out Coraline and Fantastic Mr. Fox for the honor in a ceremony held Sunday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. While it was up for best editing in a dramatic film, Avatar lost out to The Hurt Locker.
Avatar did much better with the Art Director’s Guild the night before in the same hotel, taking the award for best art direction in a fantasy film. It beat out District 9, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Star Trek and Where the Wild Things Are for the honor.
