FINAL 2024 Oscar Predictions: FILM EDITING
It’s a clean sweep for Jennifer Lame’s cutting of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, winning the ACE Eddie, BAFTA and Critics Choice for film editing.
That said, the American Cinema Editors (ACE) award has been a little bit shaky in recent years. While Everything Everywhere All At Once won the comedy ACE then the Oscar, comedies rarely triumph here a the Oscars and the ACE drama winners have been spotty at best; the last four there did not turn those wins into Oscar wins – Top Gun: Maverick, King Richard, The Trial of the Chicago 7 and Parasite. But there doesn’t feel like a close second here or a real competitor. The Holdovers won the comedy ACE and is Oscar-nominated but that’s not happening.
Here are my ranked final 2024 Oscar predictions for Film Editing.
| 1. Oppenheimer (ACE, BAFTA, CCA) Jennifer Lame |
| 2. Anatomy of a Fall (ACE, BAFTA) Laurent Sénéchal |
| 3. The Holdovers (ACE) Kevin Tent |
| 4. Killers of the Flower Moon (ACE, BAFTA, CCA) Thelma Schoonmaker |
| 5. Poor Things (ACE, BAFTA, CCA) Yorgos Mavropsaridis |
