So let me use cooking as a metaphor. Shooting is like buying groceries, and the real cooking is on the editing table. That\u2019s how I feel about editing. I\u2019ve feel I have this editing machine in my head when I\u2019m making movies, every section, every setup, editing is at the center of my consciousness. Every working day I have to answer, hundreds of questions about what I want. The only reason I can give directions and put the whole movie together is because I have that editing table in my head.\u201d Lee added, \u201cWe\u2019re in a particularly difficult moment, challenging moment, in our life of cinema. But I do believe, as long as there is as long as there are moving images, there will be editors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tErin Casper who won best edited short for \u201cAll The Empty Rooms\u201d that goes into the bedrooms of children killed in US school shootings, dedicated her win to the victims and the families \u201cwho opened their doors to us and welcomed us into their sacred spaces of their child\u2019s bedroom preserved just as it was since the last day they saw their child alive.\u201d She went on to say, \u201cThe word gun is never mentioned in our film, and this was intentional on our part, because we\u2019ve all grown so numb to this epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tShe said their goal was to center the humanity and \u201cthe life that was in these rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cSouth Park\u2019s\u201d Twisted Christian episode won best edited animated series. During his acceptance speech, editor David List said, \u201cIt was especially gratifying to work on these last 10 episodes because Trey and Matt really, really went for it. They challenged the boundaries of censorship and how far all of us can exercise our First Amendment rights, whether it\u2019s political commentary, mocking celebrity or that expertly timed fart joke.\u201d He added, \u201cOur freedom of speech should ultimately be protected and celebrated regardless of political party affiliation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tFull list of winners below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>EDITED FEATURE FILM (Drama, Theatrical)<\/strong><br \/>\u201cSinners\u201d<br \/>Michael P.
