OUTSTANDING FILM EDITING

Kogonada for Columbus
Lee Smith for Dunkirk
David Lowery for A Ghost Story
Nick Houy for Lady Bird
Marion Monnier for Personal Shopper

AND THE WINNER IS:


LEE SMITH FOR DUNKIRK

This is the third win and fourth nomination for Lee Smith. He previously won for The Truman Show (1998) & The Dark Knight (2008) and was also nominated for Inception (2010).

Dunkirk was one of the pitch-perfect films from this film. The time concept in anybody else's hands could've been messy but Nolan was the perfect man for the job. He and his longtime collaborator Lee Smith provided beautiful editing, this is particularly noticeable in the beach segment of Dunkirk where we follow these characters through a week of suffrage on the battlefront. This entire film itself is an example of editing done well because each of the segments collides with another so effortlessly well.
