"Tech Support": BEST FILM EDITING - VOLUME I
The film editor’s task is not only to establish an appropriate length for a given film, but also to make sure the experience is well paced while remaining engaging throughout. Without quality juxtaposition, the viewing experience would certainly be a trying one.
Traditionally, the lineup for Best Film Editing closely mirrors the Best Picture lineup. A 4/5 crossover is common, with a 3/5 crossover being almost always the case. In 2002, the five Best Picture nominees were the five nominees here. Yet last year, only two of the nominees were for films cited for Best Picture: the great Michael Kahn for “Munich” and eventual winner Hughes Winborne for “Crash.”
