Here’s the list of Oscar nominees. Art of the Cut is basically about what happens AFTER the cameras stop rolling, so I’m just highlighting these categories. Obviously, it’s hard to have a Best Picture or Best Documentary without great editing as well, so I’ve included those. If there is a link to an interview with the picture editor of one of these nominees, I’ve included it.
