In a night of expectations and upsets, the American Cinema Editors selected their 56th set of winners. Leading the pack was expected Oscar winner La La Land winning the comedy/musical prize, a category all of our contributors guessed correctly. In the highly competitive drama field, Arrival took the prize for its time-hopping sci-fi spectacle. In the animation field, the editors went with Zootopia, which makes a stronger case for its future Oscar win for Animated Feature, which can also be said for the Documentary Feature frontrunner O.J.: Made in America taking home the Documentary Editing prize. Below are the winners along with our contributors’ predictions in parentheses after.
