Oscars 2024: Jennifer Lame wins in Best Film Editing for Oppenheimer

This is Lame's career-first Oscar nomination and win

Oppenheimer has won its second Oscar this year, with Jennifer Lame bagging the award in the Best Film Editing category. A Christopher Nolan directorial, Oppenheimer revolves around Cillian Murphy's physicist Robert J Oppenheimer as he faces a trial following his creation of the atomic bomb.

Oppenheimer has a frantic editing pattern as the film cuts back and forth between the trial portions and the flashbacks that chronicle the physicist's methodical work on the Manhattan Project. The film uses plenty of quick cuts as it jumps from one time period to another in telling its story.

Lame also collaborated with director Nolan on the latter's previous film, Tenet. She beat fellow nominees Laurent Sénéchal for Anatomy of a Fall, Kevin Tent for The Holdovers, Thelma Schoonmaker for Killers of the Flower Moon, and Yorgos Mavropsaridis for Poor Things.

This is Lame's career-first Oscar nomination and win.
