The nominees for the British Film Editors 2022 Cut Above Awards have been announced.
Eight editors have received more than one nod, with their productions nominated in two categories. These are Úna Ní Dhonghaíle for Belfast, Nicolas Chaudeurge, Rebecca Lloyd & Jacob Secher Schulsinger for Cow, Janus Billeskov Jansen for Flee, Sarah Brewerton for It’s A Sin and Danny Collins & Mark Hammill for 9/11: Inside the President’s War Room.
Joe Walker has been given a nod for his work on feature film Dune, for which he won an Oscar on Sunday.
The annual BFE Cut Above Awards are the UK’s only awards ceremony to solely recognise excellence in film editing.
The nominees were announced at an event at Twickenham Film Studios. Over the coming months, the voting process will be undertaken by full and associate members of BFE. The voting window closes on Monday 25th April.
The winners will be announced on the 29th April during the virtual ceremony, which will be live-streamed.
Two further categories will be peer-nominated by editors and assistants and decided by a jury. These awards are named in memory of two BFE members who passed away in 2020: The Michael Johns Award for Outstanding Assistant Editor and the Chris Crookall Award for Breakthrough Editor.
