Best Film Editing Predictions

Collin Whitchurch: The only noteworthy precursor where One Battle After Another and Sinners went head-to-head was at the BAFTAs, and that was won by One Battle After Another.

At the ACE Eddie Awards, Sinners won in the Drama category, while One Battle After Another won in the Comedy/Musical category. The former is a lot more predictive of Oscars success, and would make me interested in Sinners if it weren’t for the head-to-head result.

The other contender here is F1, which took the Critics Choice Award, but I don’t put enough stock in that to get to the window.

Best Bet: None (One Battle After Another will win)
