: It was nice to see The Fight Club shut out...It was sad to see Dogma and Election shut out.
Actaually DOGMA sound mixer (?) Richard Hymms got nominated for FIGHT CLUB in the best sound effects editing.
And ELECTION rightfully got a best adapted screenplay nomination.
: I think Any Given Sunday deserved and editing nod
I totally disagree. I thought the editing was too brutal and unfocused, unlike Stone's brilliantly edited caos JFK, NATURAL BORN KILLERS, and NIXON. In AGS the editing falls flat because Stone tries to crusade to make football seem like a religion and inserts BEN-HUR clips here and there but it falls flat because the clips don't really suggest anything concrete, just Charlton Heston cracking a whip.
I thought THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY and BEING JOHN MALCOVICH deserved editing nominations.
