The Trial of the Chicago 7

Best Film Editing has historically been a major indicator of a film's Best Picture chances, so it tends to invite mostly heavyweight contenders vying for the Big One.

With that in mind, Mank, Nomadland, and The Trial of the Chicago 7 are absolutely locked in, while more tentative nods for The Father and Sound of Metal will have to fend off stiff competition from Minari, News of the World, One Night in Miami, and Promising Young Woman.
