Only one notable surprise at last night's American Cinema Editors awards. While
The Artist predictably took home the Best Edited Feature prize in the Comedy/Musical category, and while
Rango continued its precursor dominance in the Animated Feature category (I'd have liked to see Michael Kahn win that for
Tintin), it was the subdued editing of
The Descendants that beat out the Best Picture buzz of
Hugo, flashier editing of
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and superior editing of
Moneyball in the Drama category.
