Pruning Hydrangea anomala usually just consists of frequency - in other words, trimming back growth which is coming away from the wall that you don't want. It is, though, too late in the year to prune back as much as you want to now. As you now need to take off so much, this is best done after flowering next year.
You can prune your Acer between now and the end of December.
