It's definitely the frontrunner in all three of them. I mean, which movie do you see being ahead ? For starters, there is a difference between being a lock and being a frontrunner. One is essentially a sure-thing, the other is the one you'd be predicting to win. I personally am predicting it to win all three of those awards, but I can definitely see something else winning them, especially Film Editing. I agree that Cross having recently won may not help him. I'd also note the far showier editing in Arrival (the other guild winner) and the tendency for AMPAS to vote for an action film in the category, which helps the BAFTA winner. I can see all three winning the award TBH. Personally, I think Arrival deserves it the most, but something tells me Hacksaw is more likely to spoil. I'm still predicting La La Land, but with nowhere near as much assurance as I am in most of the other categories.

I just repeated what you were saying. You said it maybe wasn't a "favourite" in one of those categories, you didn't say it wasn't a lock.
If you are predicting it to win all three, then that must mean you consider it the favourite in those categories. So, yeah, I don't understand your "at least two of them" thing. You should just have said three.
Anyway, I think Arrival is the most likely to upset, seeing it won WGA meaning they must like what it does with its time concept. Which may translate to people voting for its editing, although I think that's a stupid reason because editing is about infinitely more than putting some flashbacks/flashforwards in your movie. Plus their execution was often lacking, the stuff with the president of China is rather awful and the ending sequence basically relies on the music rather than on good editing. Villeneuve just isn't a very good storyboarder IMO.

This is what I said: Now, if English isn't your native tongue, than fair enough getting that confused, but surely you understand my point on reflection. You said it was "reasonably locked" for 9 awards. It certainly is not, especially not in Film Editing.

Again the discussion is not about locks. I was just wondering why you viewed La La Land as the favourite in only 2 of those 3 categories, when you are also predicting it to win those 3 categories. The two just don't compute. Unless I misunderstand what you mean by "favourite".
Just so we're clear, to me "favourite" simply means "has better odds to win than any other nominee".
