Three huge snubs here with Roma, First Man and A Star Is Born all missing. What the heck is winning this? I guess it's between Vice with its super flashy editing and the overall love for the film, and...Bohemian Rhapsody? Or maybe Klansman breaks its underdog status and snatches this?

This category usually conflates "Best" with "Most," so I'd bet on Vice to take it. If BlacKkKlansman or The Favourite do, on the other hand, that bodes very well for them overall, as it would speak to overall passion that trumps flashiness.

Probably Vice, but I agree if BlacKkKlansman, The Favourite, or even Green Book win, I think that will be a sign that one of them beat Roma. Although I'm still confused on how exactly the technical awards are going to be given out. So I'm not sure if we'll find out who won editing before we know who won Best Picture.  |

If Green Book wins, I think it's our Best Picture winner. But it's such a low-key film in its editing, more than any of the others, and I can't think of many Editing winners quite like it, especially in comparison to snazzier, flashier works. But with that said, Green Book isn't so much a threat to Roma's bloc of voters; it has its own contingent that will vote for it, whereas the other films appeal much more to the arthouse crowd. If BlacKkKlansman or The Favourite win here, I'd take it as a much bigger sign of imminent doom on Roma's end than if, say, Vice did, just because Vice fits the bill of what normally wins here regardless of Best Picture. |

My mind tells me Vice, but for some reason, my gut is saying Bohemian Rhapsody. The Live Aid sequence might push it to victory.

Why wouldn't they give the techs the same way they do every year? Did I miss some announcement? |

I read something about them being done in 30 minute video, or that they would be given out during commercial breaks. I don't know what's going on now especially as there's no host. |

Of all these films, I like BR's editing the best, so I'm going with BR. It might be the one spot they bestow it with an award.

Any of these 5 can easily win. I don't know why, but I have a sneaky suspicion that Green Book wins this.

It’s such a mess. This is the perfect example of the “old” and “new” academy struggling coming to terms.

If it's true that editors vote for editing - I honestly can't fathom someone in that field not voting for The Other Side of the Wind, which is simply put a historic feat. It makes as little sense as putting ketchup on ice cream. Not one, but two documentaries have outlined the extremely challenging, massive lengths of its completion, a herculean task by Bob Murawski, with a radical, creative, ahead-of-its-time foundation from Welles, who would be nom'd along Murawski too. It's not like they didn't campaign! Or that it wasn't worldwide on Netflix waiting to be seen. But.... I guess no love. Orson Welles, who? Rosebud, what? The guy with the cigar? I dunno, I think I'll vote for Bryan Singer's movie, yea that's it!  |

You're assuming enough people actually watched it, that Netflix actually actively campaigned it (its chief horse in the race didn't even get in here), and that people thought that an Orson Welles movie would actually be eligible. And, of course, people will always vote for the movies they liked the most. |

And, of course, people will always vote for the movies they liked the most. True, that's the key factor. Roma missing out further proves that this category is all messed up and barmy. But for Wind, I would hope the editors, the technical guys of all people, would've sought it out, Idk! Murawski hosted a helluva lot of screenings as far as I know... |

I dunno, I think I'll vote for Bryan Singer's movie, yea that's it! Editors in particular fall prey to Best Picture hype. Take a look at the category, it's always the big Best Picture contenders that show up here. Yeah, sometimes you have the Hell Or High Water getting in over Manchester By The Sea, but that rarely happens.
I think the worst of the five will win here: Vice. Holding out hope for BlacKkKlansman or The Favourite.
