“ Everything Everywhere All at Once” – Paul Rogers Because this category often goes to movies with quicker cutting that adds to the pace (as is the case with a few of the other nominees), it’s a bit of a surprise that this subtler film was included over other contenders like “Babylon” and “ All Quiet on the Western Front.” It’s a testament to how much the academy’s editing branch appreciated Nielsen’s work, so who is to question them? Just a few years after winning the Oscar for “Sound of Metal,” the Danish editor received his second nomination for this quieter dramedy from Oscar winner Martin McDonagh (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”). The variety in this year’s category is also pretty exciting, with all five editors having worked on Oscar-nominated Best Pictures, and not all the nominees are for quick-edited, fast-paced action movies, either. We only have one previous Oscar winner from just a few years ago, so we could see a new Oscar champ this year.


This is a particularly invigorating year for the category.
