Final Oscars Predictions – Best Film Editing

With wins at the BAFTAs, ACE Eddie, and the Critics Choice Awards, Jennifer Lame has made a clean sweep of Best Film Editing wins for Oppenheimer. While the previous four winners of the ACE Eddie for drama have failed to also collect the Oscar, Lame seems assured to break that bizarre trend as part of the domination of Oppenheimer this year. Is there a chance for an upset for Anatomy of a Fall or The Holdovers? Not really.
