"Mad Max: Fury Road" wins for Film Editing

Awesome to know that director George Miller wanted his wife (Sixel) to edit the film. She asked him "Why" because she had never edited an action movie before. George replied, "Because if a guy did it, it would look like evey other action film." And she went on to win the Oscar. Well deserved!

I was worried that the action scenes would've been edited like the Oliver Megaton action movies but she edited the movie smoothly and perfect. We can actually see what's going on, that's a well deserved Oscar

[@MrBen51309]

That's a misappropriated quote that erases great female editors like Sally Menke and Thelma Schoonmaker. George Miller wanted her because she'd never done an action movie, not because she was a woman...

[@Erasureeraser]

@@MrBen51309 No, that's what George Miller actually said, he doesn't think a man could edit Mad Max Fury Road simply because it would've look like every of those choppy edited action movies we've seen that were edited by a man. Yes she technically has never edited an action movie and yet Miller is avoiding those action movie cliches where it's choppy edited most of them were edited by a man. That's what he actually said. He wanted his wife to do it to avoid those action movie cliches

[@AnotherCamilo]

This is a very important award, editing is just as essential as the screenplay. A good screenplay or the movie as a whole could be tottaly ruined if there's no good editing. I say this because technical awards as these are widely overlooked by the average audience. I get salty when i read people saying that Mad Max didn't won anything important. Editing should never be overlooked, it gives sense to the entire film.

[@ernestolindley1659]

Well said Even better what u said Here are the overlooked movies because of its technical wins: Dunkirk Mad max fury road Ford v Ferrari Nuff said If u disagree Make ur list on who was overlooked because it won only technical awards and people considered it not important ( people are stupid for thinking that)

[@ernestolindley1659]

Not stupid more like they don’t accept that Film editing is important

[@iforgotthenamemate]

Part of the success and greatness of Mad Max is the editing. Margaret did a great job!

[@neerbora9011]

Those that say it didn't win anything important are ones who might think that only the Top 5 awards are important, or only the Best Picture is important, which itself means that they don't really know much about how filmmaking works, the technical part of filmmaking is what gives a film life. Therefore, those end up being uninformed/generalised opinions, and there is never any point of arguing with and/or feeling bad about such points.

[@diskmort]

A good editing can save a bad cinematography, but a bad editing can not save a good cinematography.

It is the end of the decade and this movie is in every list about the top films of the decade. Totally for a reason. It deserves to be on the list.

[@stephendavis6267]

The best editing since "JFK." Way to go, Margaret!

[@Leonardoeditor37]

For me, in terms of film editing, JFK (1991) is the best film of all movie history. This Mad Max is very good, but it's way distance from JFK, with many movies between them. About the last 25 years, for me there is at least one movie better than this Mad Max in film editing: City of God.

[@stephendavis6267]

+Leonardo Pimenta "City of God" is grand, I'll give you that. And indeed, it's all subjective . . . but for me, the holy trinity of film editing is "JFK", "Alien" (theatrical cut, not that 2003 version Ridley cranked out to add deleted scenes), and now, "Mad Max: Fury Road." But there are several brilliant films in between that 25-year gap you mentioned. "City of God" is one. "Whiplash" is another. "Drive" and "Wolf of Wall Street" as well.

[@Leonardoeditor37]

Stephen Davis You have quite a good taste in movies and film editing.

[@JorgeCRFLucas-eg3re]

+Stephen Davis Forrest Gump, Goodfellas, The Matrix, the Bourne Trilogy...

[@stephendavis6267]

+Jesse Bolt If that were the case, though, "Mad Max" would've won Best Picture. ;) You're right that great editing is seamless and in a perfect world would not draw attention to itself . . . but then there are the films where the rhythm of the editing is front and center, like the costumes, the cinematography, the sound design, the makeup. There is nothing wrong with flashy, showy editing if the material calls for it. "Mad Max" did, as did "Aliens" and "JFK" and "Whiplash" before it. "Spotlight" was a film where nothing had to be out of sync with itself, where everything had to be masterclass of restraint. That's why I didn't care for Mark Ruffalo's performance. He drew unnecessary attention with his incredibly mannered posturing. Even if the real Rezendes shared similar tics, it still distracted from the rest of the low-key, lived-in ensemble.

Priyanka Chopra is so stunning! Nice to see her present! Well deserved win for Mad Max.

[@jessebolt8526]

An effective film editing work must, first of all, make the story and the film as most comprehensible as possible for the viewers. Film editing can not be only a visual show by fast cutting and jump cutting. Film editing, first of all, must tell the story as short as possible and in the most elegant way possible. A perfect sample of this kind of film editing is Spotlight. Because, if the film editing doesn't serve the story in first place, the whole thing is useless. Mad Max is a good work, but this result is, again, because of the fact that everybody can vote - most of them not specialists who voted on Mad Max just because they like the movie.

To be fair, both films are fantastic for DRASTICALLY different reasons. Lol Those were the two best movies up for Best Picture that year.

[@ronaldmcdonald2817]

Little1Cave I thought the Revenant was the film of the nominees.

[@Little1Cave]

GradyW6 Wilson It has the most nominations but personally I thought it was the worst of the Best Picture nominees. But that’s just me.

[@ronaldmcdonald2817]

Little1Cave I respectably disagree. I thought Room was the Worst. Why did you think The Revenant was the worst nominee

[@Little1Cave]

GradyW6 Wilson It was a very bland story, and with the exception of Tom Hardy, bland performances. DiCaprio deserved an Oscar, it’s just a shame it was given to him for that. I LOVED Inarritu’s work the previous year with Birdman, so I was just disappointed with Revenant. Had some great things in it, like Tom Hardy and the cinematography, but in a year where all of the rest of the Best Picture nominees stood out to me as ranging from really good to amazing, Revenant was just okay and mostly forgettable. That’s why I personally thought it was the weakest of the nominees.

[@joewhitehead3]

Not sure why The Revenant was nominated in this category since a lot of the scenes were shot in 1 take

[@HAL-vm3wn]

That's the reason it was nominated

[@GoogleUser-tn2tz]

Editing is not just "cutting." It's also what shouldn't be cut.

[@Wired4Life2]

​@@GoogleUser-tn2tz Exactly. The wrong tendency when thinking about which effort to vote for in this category is to go for the one with the flashiest editing, which isn't always the best.
