Team Experience is discussing each Oscar category in the lead up to the ceremony. Here's Ben Miller and Eurocheese to talk Best Editing
Ben Miller: Well Eurocheese, we're back again. Pre-nominations, Nick Taylor and I talked about Best Editing being more of an alternative Best Picture lineup. Low-and-behold, all five Editing nominees are also up for Best Picture. Before we get to talking about the actual nominees, let's pour one out for films that should have gotten a notice in this category. Personally, I thought the editing in All Quiet on the Western Front was pretty spectacular. When it comes to coherent action sequences, my main gripe is a sense of place and atmosphere. For a while, any action or war film was edited with insanity and incoherence. God bless George Miller because Mad Max: Fury Road showed a first-class way to convey clear, heart-pumping action without throwing you out of sorts. All Quiet isn't renowned for its action sequences, but when it shows up, it is crystal clear about direction, orientation, and presence.
What film did you personally want in the lineup, no matter how unrealistic?
