87th Oscar Film Editing Updates (2014-2015 Awards Season) (6/15/2014)

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.
