BAFTA Award For Best Editing
The BAFTA Award for Best Editing is a film award presented by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) at the annual British Academy Film Awards, to recognize a film editor who has delivered outstanding editing in a film. BAFTA is a British organisation that hosts annual awards shows for film, television, and video games (and formerly also for children's film and television). Since 1966, selected editors have been awarded with the BAFTA award for Best Editing at an annual ceremony. Traditionally, four films were nominated each year until 2000, when the Academy expanded the annual number of nominees to five. The predetermined limit was exceeded twice: in 1992, when, due to a tie in the vote, there were five nominees, and in 2008, when there were six nominees. In the following lists, the titles and names in bold with a gold background are the winners and recipients respectively; those not in bold are the nominees. The years given are those in which the films unde ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kevin Brownlow
Kevin Brownlow (born Robert Kevin Brownlow; 2 June 1938) is a British film historian, television documentary-maker, filmmaker, author, and film editor. He is best known for his work documenting the history of the silent era, having become interested in silent film at the age of eleven.

This was the first occasion on which an Academy Honorary Award was given to a film preservationist.

The Charge Of The Light Brigade (1968 Film)
''The Charge of the Light Brigade'' is a 1968 British DeLuxe Color satirical war film made by Woodfall Film Productions and distributed by United Artists, depicting parts of the Crimean War and the eponymous charge. It was directed by Tony Richardson and produced by Neil Hartley. Its animated credits and linking passages were created by Richard Williams, drawing on the satirical use of Victorian-era jingoistic images. This film features Richardson's daughters Natasha and Joely in their debuts. Plot The film is about the folly of war, and the poor state of the British Army and its leadership during the Crimean War (1853–1856). Britain had not fought in a European theatre since the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, and the army had become sclerotic and bound by bureaucracy. Tactical and logistical methodology had not advanced in forty years, and the whole ethos of the army was bound in outmoded social values. The anti-hero is a relatively competent officer, Captain Louis Nol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sam O'Steen
Samuel Alexander O'Steen (November 6, 1923 – October 11, 2000) was an American film editor and director. He had an extended, notable collaboration with the director Mike Nichols, with whom he edited 12 films between 1966 and 1994. Among the films O'Steen edited are ''Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf'' (directed by Nichols, 1966), ''Cool Hand Luke'' (directed by Stuart Rosenberg, 1967), ''The Graduate'' (directed by Nichols, 1967), '' Rosemary's Baby'' (directed by Roman Polanski, 1968), and ''Chinatown'' (directed by Polanski, 1974).
