Countdown to Oscar Night: Best Editing

Best Editing
The Big Short
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Revenant
Spotlight
Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Yes, the above image is a screencap from The Big Short, and no, it isn't as exciting as you might think. It is from a "4th wall-breaking" sequence used multiple times throughout the movie to explain complicated financial gymnastics to the audience. This touch made the film much more poignant and relevant than a simple adaptation of the book. Unfortunately, this category is usually an early predictor of the Best Picture winner of the night so it could very well go to either The Revenant or Spotlight, but maybe, just maybe the voters will select something appropriate for the category.

My Ballot:
The Big Short
Mad Max: Fury Road
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
The Revenant
Spotlight

My Pick to Win:
The Big Short

Shoulda Been Here:
