Jennifer Lame, who has never been nominated despite cutting two best picture nominated movies — “Marriage Story” (2019) and “Manchester by Sea” (2016) — is in the best position yet to land her inaugural mention for Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” Her challenger is Martin Scorsese’s longtime collaborator Thelma Schoonmaker, the most awarded woman in the category’s history with three — “Raging Bull” (1980), “The Aviator” (2004) and “The Departed” (2006).
