American Cinema Editors (Ace) today announced nominations for the 64th Annual Ace Eddie Awards recognizing outstanding editing in ten categories of film, television and documentaries. Winners will be revealed during Ace’s annual black-tie awards ceremony on Friday, February 7, 2014 in the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

The Ace Eddie Awards is considered an integral precursor to the Oscars. No film has won Best Picture at the Oscars without also having received at least a Best Editing nomination since Ordinary People in 1981. Since the Ace membership boasts a very high crossover within its membership of Academy members, it represents a very accurate bellwether for the eventual Oscar outcome.

The Ace Eddie Award nominees are listed below.

Breaking ice is no longer merely slang for what Walt and Jesse do after cooking a batch of meth on Breaking Bad. It's also the title of a new Breaking Bad-themed ice skating tribute. The project is the brainchild of Sharidan Sotelo, an assistant editor on Breaking Bad and an ice skating enthusiast. She conceived it as being in the vein of dream ballets ala musicals such as Oklahoma and An American in Paris, in which the dances reflect what is going on with the characters.

Walter White, Jesse Pinkman and the rest of the Breaking Bad gang have taken their story to the ice rink. The AMC series' assistant editor Sharidan Williams-Sotelo put together a pretty impressive figure skating homage to the crime drama TV show, highlighting the important points from the entire series through the art of spins and glides (and even a little ribbon!). "Breaking Ice" features Walter skating in his undies, his famous blue meth, Jane's death and so much more before ultimately reaching Heisenberg's demise. And this is all done in six minutes! After five seasons, the popular drama showcasing a chemistry teacher turned drug king (Bryan Cranston) who was diagnosed with cancer...

The video below, "Breaking Ice," is no mere (hilarious and strange) fan tribute to "Breaking Bad." It is, as "Ozymandias" director Rian Johnson pointed out on Twitter, the work of the series' assistant editor Sharidan Williams-Sotelo, and has the blessing of AMC -- the network posted it on its site -- not to mention Vince Gilligan, listed in the credits as the executive producer. Enjoy this salute to "Breaking Bad" as it was meant to be remembered -- as an ice skating extravaganza!
