LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


 LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
 For Contribution to the World of Music and Movies, goes to Academy Award winning editor

JOEL COX

to be presented by Clint Eastwood

 

Joel Cox and his long time partner, Clint Eastwood

 

 

Joel Cox (Editor) has worked with Clint Eastwood for more than 30 years, on films that

include "Bird," "Eastwood After Hours: Live at Carnegie Hall," Tony Bennett: The Music

Never Ends," and co-edited Clint Eastwood's "Piano Blues."  Joel has been editor on

movies like “Flags of Our Fathers,” “Million Dollar Baby,” “Mystic River,” “Blood Work,”

“Space Cowboys,” “True Crime,” “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,” “Absolute

Power,” “The Bridges of Madison County,” “A Perfect World,” and  “Unforgiven,” for

which he won an Academy Award for Best Editor in 1992.

 

Cox has spent his entire career at Warner Bros. starting in 1961, most notably on

Eastwood’s films.  The relationship began in 1975 when Cox worked as an assistant

editor on “The Outlaw Josey Wales.”  Since then, he has cut 30 more films that have,

in some combination, either starred, been produced or directed by Clint Eastwood. 

 

“Sudden Impact” was Cox’s first film as editor, a title he has held ever since on such

films as “Tightrope,” “Pale Rider,” “Heartbreak Ridge,” “The Dead Pool,” “Pink Cadillac,”

“White Hunter, Black Heart,” and “The Rookie.”  Joel has been working in film since

appearing as a baby in Random Harvest (1942).  His first film as an assistant editor

was on the 1969 film The Wild Bunch directed by Sam Peckinpah.  He just  finished

the Eastwood soon to be released "Changeling," and presently working on "Gran

Torino" staring and directed by Eastwood.
