Best picture contenders usually make a strong showing in the film editing category, and they dominate the top part of today’s list. But occasionally this branch will surprise us with a fast-paced action flick, so I like to sprinkle a few of them into my predictions as well. Did I sprinkle too much? Probably. Especially given that there’s already an Oscar-ready science fiction film in the top five. But it’s fun to think about the possibilities at this stage.
Note that some of these films haven’t named their film editor yet (at least where I could find), and so I’ve guessed a few based upon their consistent work with a given director, and listed some others as TBA.
1. Lee Smith for Interstellar (Predicted Winner)
2. Tim Squyres for Unbroken
3. Kirk Baxter for Gone Girl
4. Jay Cassidy, Stuart Levy and Conor O’Neill for Foxcatcher
5. Leslie Jones for Inherent Vice
Alternates:
6. Wyatt Smith for Into The Woods
7. William Goldenberg for The Imitation Game
8. Douglas Crise for Birdman
9. JC Bond for Big Eyes
10. TBA for Fury
11. Ron Patane for A Most Violent Year
12. Justine Wright for Locke
13. Jabez Olssen for The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies
