And Best Director that year went to someone who had won only a few years earlier!Mister Tee wrote:I'm just relieved Green Book didn't win. Someone pointed out that its award season profile (comedy Globe/PGA award/no directing nomination from AMPAS) is precisely the route a certain Miss Daisy took to best picture. So, any sign of weakness is welcome.
I guess Bohemian Rhapsody becomes the favorite for this category, but it doesn't really strike me as having the characteristics of recent winners. More on that in a one-by-one thread.

Re: American Cinema Editors Winners
I think Bohemian Rhapsody has it then. I assumed the more discerning Eddies would pass over the cartoon choppy Rhapsody. If they didn’t, it’s probably got it.
Glad that The Favourite deservingly won this. There is a very strongly crosscut sequence in the first half hour that greatly impressed me. Green Book’s editing is far from its greatest sin and it’s a rather well-paced film.

Bohemian Rhapsody wins Drama, and The Favourite takes comedy.
The latter a surprise, to say the least. Felt like it might run third, behind Vice/Green Book.

PREDICTIONS
The Oscar for Best Film Editing is a little murkier than usual this year. The "Eddies" predicted The Social Network, Argo, Mad Max, and Dunkirk, but not The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Gravity, Whiplash, or Hacksaw Ridge. A clip of how sloppily edited Bohemian Rhapsody was cut is going viral these days so even though I think it's going to end up winning Best Film Editing, I think the more discerning Eddies might pass on it.
BEST EDITED FEATURE FILM - DRAMATIC
BlacKkKlansman (maybe Roma)
BEST EDITED FEATURE FILM - COMEDY OR MUSICAL
Green Book
BEST EDITED FEATURE FILM - ANIMATION
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
BEST EDITED FEATURE FILM - DOCUMENTARY
Won't You Be My Neighbor?
