Watch out for THT in editing. This is the position Wendy Hallam Martin was in in 2018 when she won.

The Mandalorian is not winning Editing, with 4 episodes nominated. It’ll be The Crown or The Handmaid’s Tale, and I’m starting to lean towards the latter.

I agree. Though “The Rescue” is, at least IMO, the obvious choice from the Mando eps.

Editing is a vote-splitty category. <i>The Flight Attendant</i> is more or less guaranteed the comedy win and I think either The Crown or Handmaid’s will win drama.

I think The Handmaid’s Tale can EASILY win this, but the amount of support for The Mandalorian by editors is also astonishing. 7 noms in 2 years, just WOW. “The Rescue” is the most action packed episode of the whole show and we know how much good editing can help in creating tension in acting packed scenes. I went back to see how much vote splitting is a factor in this category and I noticed a lot of shows with 2-3 noms have won before. At the end of the day, this is a just a guess like any other. I’d say THT is the frontrunner for obvious reasons tho.

I’m not gonna lie: “The Rescue” is just epic, and the editing plays an important role. That said, I still think The Crown might just take this. I don’t think THT is necessarily a frontrunner, though I would love for it to be.

The thing about The Crown is, “Fairytale” is arguably the most popular episode of season 4 (and the most submitted) but “Avalanche” is clearly the standout in terms of Editing. That’s why I think The Handmaid’s Tale is going to take this by default.

And “The Crossing” is IMO a great editorial achievement. The tension in that first half in particular is A+.

This is true but I question how much showiness matters here. Succession won this category after all last year for “This is Not For Tears” even though “DC” was the showier episode. A lot of winners in these categories over the past few years have been the directing nominee/winner.

That being said I will probably predict Handmaid’s to win.

Shows that overcame three way vote splits in editing (ACS S1, GoT S8 and Watchmen) were just too big of a juggernaut for their competition. Both GoT and Watchmen had more nominations than their competition combined for example.

The Mandalorian is more similar in how it’s positioned to the ones that didn’t win imo (Fargo S3, GoT S7, ACS S2). They were strong but not too big for their competition to overcome those respective vote-splits. The lack of a clear consensus favourite/push is another disadvantage for it which would not be the case for the competition here imo.

Especially when you look at all the other drama shows with 7+ editing noms and how long it took them to get there.

11 nominations
Game of Thrones (6 seasons)
The Sopranos (4 seasons)
24 (4 seasons)

10 nominations
Breaking Bad (5A)
ER (4 seasons)

8 nominations
Mad Men (4 seasons)
The X-Files (5 seasons)

7 nominations
Lost (6 seasons)
The Mandalorian (2 seasons)

To be fair, editing only had 5 nominees till 2018. We’ve had 15 nominees in the past two years combined otoh. I assume that haul would be nearly half of what it is atm with less slots. The unlimited ballot also came into effect only a few years ago which is another advantage.
