Oscar Volley: Best Editing is Now Best Picture-lite

Team Experience is discussing each Oscar category as we head into the precursors. Here's Ben and Abe to talk Film Editing...
The Trinity Explosion editing from Oppenheimer
BEN: Abe, it's time for another talk about one of the most confounding categories at the Oscars...Best Editing!
Last year, I talked about this category with Nick Taylor and we talked specifically about how non-Best Picture nominees don't show up in this category, no matter how special their editing might be. Last year, they went 5/5 again. They even went with a nominee (The Banshees of Inisherin) with relatively unremarkable editing.
Why do you think the Academy is so apprehensive to care about the craft of the actual editing process?...
