The prediction pages do not reflect the personal opinions of any candidate and are based on current standings in the race. This means that they do not depend on anyone’s personal preferences or personal opinions. The information on the prediction pages is updated every Thursday to ensure accuracy and reflect changes in the competition, based on rumors and current events.

Predictions for the 2024 Oscar for Best Achievement in Film Editing are emerging as a promising race. Currently, two female editors are at the forefront of this race in films longer than three hours.

Jennifer Lame, a name who has never been nominated despite cutting two films nominated for Best Picture – “Marriage Story” (2019) and “Manchester by Sea” (2016), is being strongly considered for the nomination. His first nomination was for the film “Oppenheimer” directed by Christopher Nolan.

Her opponent is Thelma Schoonmaker, a longtime collaborator of Martin Scorsese who has won the most awards in the category’s history with three, with notable achievements in films such as “Raging Bull ” (1980), “The Aviator” (2004) and “The Departed” (2006). She is facing a difficult task when it comes to editing a film as challenging as Christopher Nolan’s “Killers of the Flower Moon.”

If either of these two women win the race, they will become the first to top this category since Margaret Sixel with “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2016).

However, having a feature length for your film does not guarantee that the Academy will automatically consider your name. This may apply to Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” edited by Emmy winner Nick Houy, who worked with Gerwig on previous films like “Lady Bird” and “Little Women.” However, this opportunity has been missed twice before, and this year’s race has strong competition.

We also know that studios are pushing hard to get their animated films recognized in this race, especially GKids’ “The Boy and the Heron” and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider -Verse” from Sony Pictures, this movie has the potential to impress.
