Who was credited with the Best Editing win for One Battle After Another?

Andy Jurgensen was credited with the Best Editing win for One Battle After Another at the 2026 BAFTAs.

Jurgensen won the BAFTA for Editing for Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another at the ceremony on 22 February 2026. The film was the night’s biggest winner, taking six awards, including Best Film and Best Director.

The editing category recognized Jurgensen’s work shaping the film’s fast-moving action, shifting tones, and intricate narrative structure. Editing is not simply the process of shortening scenes: it controls rhythm, reveals information, balances parallel storylines, and helps turn filmed material into a coherent dramatic experience.

The other listed names were nominees rather than the winner. Michael P. Shawver was nominated for Sinners, Kirk Baxter for A House of Dynamite, and Stephen Mirrione for F1. Another possible source of confusion is that BAFTA’s category is officially presented as Editing, while it is often described informally as Best Film Editing.
