==Career==
Gibbs' editing career began in the mid-1950s as an assistant to [[Ralph Kemplen]] and to [[Alan Osbiston]], and through them he became involved with the brief "[[British New Wave|New Wave]]" of British filmmaking at its beginnings. In particular Osbiston (and Gibbs) edited ''[[The Entertainer (film)|The Entertainer]]'' (1960), which was directed by [[Tony Richardson]];<ref name=Perkins /> Richardson was one of the most prominent of the British New Wave directors. Gibbs was then principal editor for several of the subsequent "New Wave" films, including Richardson's ''[[A Taste of Honey (film)|A Taste of Honey]]'' (1961), ''[[The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (film)|The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner]]'' (1962), and ''[[Tom Jones (1963 film)|Tom Jones]]'' (1963),<ref name=Taylor>{{cite news |last=Taylor |first=Charles |title=Richardson's Lively Disaster: Waugh's ''The Loved One'' |work=[[The New York Observer]] |date=30 July 2006 |url=http://www.observer.com/node/39195 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080312023925/http://www.observer.com/node/39195 |url-status=dead |archive-date=12 March 2008 |quote=Richardson’s style changed abruptly with 1963’s ''Tom Jones''. He employed a commercialized version of French New Wave techniques, and the film was hugely popular, winning the Academy Award for Best Picture. But the jump-cutting, the straight-to-camera digressions and the generally antic tone were wildly inappropriate for an adaptation of an 18th-century novel, and the movie has by now dated to the point of being a curio.}}</ref> and also ''[[The Knack ...and How to Get It]]'' (1965), which was directed by [[Richard Lester]].
In his 1995 book, ''Film and Video Editing'', Roger Crittenden notes the influence of this first phase of Gibbs' editing career, "The generation of American editors of which [[Dede Allen]] is a part has given considerable credit for the inspiration of their work to Antony Gibbs, the English editor of films directed by, amongst others, Tony Richardson,
Gibbs was the "supervising editor" for Richardson's 1965 film, ''[[The Loved One (film)|The Loved One]]'', that was produced in Hollywood.<ref name=Taylor /> Gibbs relocated from England to California in about 1970.<ref name=Perkins>{{cite web |title=Gibbs, Antony Biography |url=http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/1299636/index.html |publisher=British Film Institute
Gibbs' editing of ''Tom Jones'' (1962) was nominated for an [[ACE Eddie|American Cinema Editors Eddie]] award. ''Tom Jones'' won the [[Academy Award for Best Picture#1960s|Academy Award for Best Picture]], and Richardson received the [[Academy Award for Best Director#1960s|Academy Award for Best Director]] for it. Subsequent to his "New Wave" films, Gibbs was nominated four times for the [[BAFTA Award for Best Editing]], for the films ''[[Performance (film)|Performance]]'' (directed by [[Donald Cammell]] & [[Nicolas Roeg]]-1970), ''[[Fiddler on the Roof (film)|Fiddler on the Roof]]'' ([[Norman Jewison|Jewison]]-1971), ''[[Rollerball (1975 film)|Rollerball]]'' (Jewison-1975), and ''[[A Bridge Too Far (film)|A Bridge Too Far]]'' ([[Richard Attenborough|Attenborough]]-1975). Gibbs has never been nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Editing]]. Gibbs was nominated again for [[ACE Eddie]] awards for ''Fiddler on the Roof'' and, much later in his career, he won Eddie awards for the television films ''George Wallace (Part II)'' (1997) and for ''James Dean'' (2001).
