If “most editing” wins the day, the editing for Elvis is almost as quickfire as EEAAO. At least the editing for the latter is meant to convey events happening in parallel, whereas Luhrman’s films seem to be hyperactive for hyperactivity’s sake. I would probably vote for Tár, though I need to rewatch. I’m guessing Top Gun will win, though EEAAO winning would likely signal broad support and a best picture win.

I would argue that if these nominations had been released before the Oscars, the nominees here may have been different. The nominating ballots were only due on Monday. Do think it's a shame that Spielberg's two most recent, as well-edited as anything he's made, have both been overlooked for their editing.

A miss for Babylon (over The Menu) would have signaled that this thing was indeed dead in the water.

EDIT:
So, we're looking at easy wins for Top Gun: Maverick and Everything Everywhere All At Once. Honestly, I'm not sure which one is going to win the Oscar. I could make the case for either one. I guess Everything Everywhere All At Once has more editing?

The Fabelmans Oscar miss would have been foreshadowed here.

All five Oscar nominees show up over the two categories. My guess? -- had this come out pre-nominations, most of us would have disregarded the TAR signal in favor of All Quiet, and of course been mistaken.
