- John Rifkin / Everything Everywhere All at Once
- Paul Rogers / Tár
- Colleen Hough / Elvis
- Stephen Rivkin / Top Gun: Maverick
- Tom Cross / The Batman
Our prediction for the winner is: Paul Rogers, Tár
*Tár* masterfully uses editing to enhance and amplify its narrative. Todd Field meticulously places each cut into the scenes as if composing musical notes into a cinematic symphony - and much like an orchestra's conductor who ensures rhythm and harmony, the rhythm and tension throughout the film feel precisely calculated so that certain scenes become almost uncomfortably intense while moments of serenity become breathtaking and ethereal.**
