Cutting Room, NY has added budding editor Jamie Connors to its roster. He comes to Cutting Room after serving as an in-house editor at McCann Erickson, where he cut campaigns for such clients as Verizon FIOS, MasterCard, Sony Ericsson and Joe’s Crab Shack. Connors brings an in-depth perspective on agency processes and sharp instincts as an editor that allow him to cut a wide variety of styles. Upcoming work out of Cutting Room includes a Dentyne campaign out of McCann Erickson.
Brooklyn-native Connors earned a degree in Communications at Goucher College before returning to the city, where he landed an internship at McCann Erickson. His six years as an editor at the agency allowed him to work on a number of award-winning campaigns, collaborating with top directors.
The Golden Globes nominated more than 40 individual films Monday — and yet still managed to overlook quite a bit. That may just be the brutal truth of awards season: The field narrows and suddenly great performances and wonderful films are simply left in the dust.
The Globes have always had quirks, like A-lister tunnel vision, and while there might not be anything quite as glaring as the infamous year of "The Tourist," this batch is not without its oddities: Some good, some bad, some simply perplexing.

Oscar nominations are still over a month away, however, so perhaps this is the spark needed to remind voters.
Surprise: "All We Imagine as Light"
It may be fun to needle the Golden Globes, but every once in a while they get something very, very right — and this year, the proof is in the nominations for "All We Imagine as Light." The Indian film from a small distributor is one of those gems that, more often than not, is mainly celebrated by critics groups. And yet here it was nominated not only alongside a truly great batch of films in the international category — which it won't be at the Oscars because India controversially selected another film to represent the country — but also in directing, for Payal Kapadia.
