Slumdog Millionaire is the best edited film of the year...

better than DK or Benjamin Button. I can see it -- the film's structure requires deft editing to make the transitions in time (including a flashback that incorporates a montage to flash forward). Of course, it might be only the editors (and perhaps directors) in the Academy who would recognize that. Is the rest of the Academy voting body just checking off Slumdog wherever they see it?
