  1. Comment by Rocco Forte:

    It’s an odd category. There’s simply no way of knowing who was the “best” editor as none of the voters saw the footage that didn’t make it in the final cut! I think they just switched out Dark Knight for The Reader (from Best Feature noms) cos it’s got some slick action in it…
