Oscar Nominees: Best Sound Editing

My predictions: 4/5
My ballot: Come back in February!
The nominees: Black Panther, Bohemian Rhapsody, First Man, A Quiet Place, Roma

This category went 4/5 with the Best Sound race, dropping “A Star is Born” in favor of A Quiet Place, which scored its one and only bid here. I’m all for its inclusion, and the rest of this field is pretty great too. First Man and Roma in particular are great, and Black Panther and Bohemian Rhapsody were both delightful aural experiences.

My current bet to win: It could be any of these, but I’ll pick A Quiet Place with “First Man” as the next likeliest.
