As someone who used to work in the motion picture industry I can tell you a talented film editor can make or break a film the same as any leading lady or director. It was my experience that some of the nicest people in the film industry are editors.

This year the following editors are nominated for Academy Awards in the “Film Editing” category:

Stephen Rivkin, John Refoua and James Cameron “Avatar”

Julian Clarke “District 9″ - who I want to win

Bob Murawski and Chris Innis “The Hurt Locker” - who I want to win if Clarke does not

Sally Menke “Inglourious Bastards”

Joe Klotz “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire

Some of my favorite people and amazing editors:

Lynzee Klingman

Chris Lebenzon

Neil Travis
