Oscar Winner Predictions: Best Sound Editing

The competition: Avatar, The Hurt Locker, Inglourious Basterds, Star Trek, Up

Previous winners: The Dark Knight, The Bourne Ultimatum, Letters from Iwo Jima, King Kong, The Incredibles
My winner: Watchmen
Who should win: Avatar
Who will win: The sound categories are where I have to guess most since I’m hardly an expert in the art of sound design or editing. I’m predicting “Avatar” to take the sound design award, and something tells me that it will lose this to a less showy film, in the same way that war movie “Letters from Iwo Jima” triumphed a few years ago. Therefore, I’ll guess The Hurt Locker, but it could just easily be the other.
