One the of more established guilds, American Cinema Editors, have released their nominees for best edited films and TV series. And the 65th Eddies have a few surprise inclusions and omissions.

Among the ten dramatic and musical/comedy nominees, you’ll see “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “American Sniper” and “Inherent Vice” and “Nightcrawler.”

Some of those could carry over to Oscar nominations and be, perhaps, one of the few “technical” nominations a film like “Galaxy” or “Sniper” lands. Or they could suggest a widening of the field. “Vice” is off most people’s radar, as is “Sniper.” Just not good enough. “Nightcrawler” could be, “Whiplash” and “Gone Girl” are already in the larger conversation.  “Grand Budapest Hotel” has awards season momentum.

“Boyhood” and “Birdman,” the two front runners, are represented. “Mr. Turner” and “The Theory of Everything” (better than “Imitation Game,” I thought) are not.

I like the animated field here — “Boxtrolls,” “Lego Movie” and “Big Hero 6” feels like the Oscar field.

And the Roger Ebert doc, “Life Itself,” endorsed by his fellow critics and seemingly an Oscar front runner, was left out of the documentary editing field, with the superior “Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me,” the even lesser seen “Finding Vivian Maier” and the critically lauded “CitizenFour” making up that field.
