As an editor my feeling is that No Country deserved the editing Oscar more than The Bourne Ultimatum.
Sure the Bourne Ultimatum took a lot of work and wasn't easy and it was very well done for what it was but it's actually harder to create so much atmosphere and tension at the much slower pace of No Country.
If I were voting my 1, 2 & 3 would have been There Will Be Blood, No Country and The Diving Bell & The Butterfly (and I'd have been satisfied if any of them had won)."You can safely assume you have created God in your own image when he hates all the same people you do."
