BOILER-PIPE: WATCH: One scene from Bohemian Rhapsody is making everyone wonder how it won Best Editing 9 Carl Kinsella Surely there's a difference between Best Editing and just... lots of editing? Last night's Oscars ceremony was plenty controversial, and at the heart of several of those controversies lay Bohemian Rhapsody — the Freddie Mercury biopic.
A box office smash though it may have been, Bohemian Rhapsody was not a particularly artful film, and the project changed hands from director Bryan Singer to Dexter Fletcher more than halfway through. One scene from the film has since gone viral on social media, with one commentator adding a counter to show that the moment features no less than 50 cuts in 77 seconds — meaning that the camera angles changes more than once every two seconds.
