Editor Peter Zinner was given 600,000 feet of printed film to edit, a monumental task at the time. Zinner eventually cut the film down to 18,000 feet. Michael Cimino later fired Zinner when he discovered that Zinner was editing down the wedding scenes. Zinner eventually won a Best Editing Oscar for the film. Regarding the clashes between him and Cimino, Zinner stated: "Michael Cimino and I had our differences at the end, but he kissed me when we both got Academy Awards." Cimino later commented in The New York Observer, "He (Zinner) was a moron. I cut Deer Hunter myself."
