Oscar Volley: Is an upset possible in "Best Editing"?
Tuesday, February 17, 2026 at 9:00AM It’s that time again! Lynn Lee and Eurocheese discuss the Oscar race for Best Editing.
the Best Editing nominees
LYNN: Happy peak Oscar season, Eurocheese! Excited to discuss the editing category with you. Overall, this is a strong if relatively unsurprising lineup. I, for one, am absolutely delighted Sentimental Value made it in – that final scene in itself deserves all of the awards. And I can see the merits in the other selections, even if the Academy once again went with all Best Picture nominees (yawn). But then it’s been almost a decade since they included any non-BP nominees. So I will just sit in the corner and shed my own quiet tear for the unsung A House of Dynamite, which deserved more awards love in general but in this category in particular. At least the BAFTAs recognized that!
What are your thoughts on the nominees? And do you think the winner will also win Best Picture (for the fourth year in a row)?
