On Saturday, The Philadelphia Film Critics announced their picks for the best of 2018. And, once again, it was Roma that picked up the top prize. However, the Philadelphians did break with tradition by not selecting Ethan Hawke for Best Actor or Lady Gaga for Best Actress. Instead, those prizes went to Christian Bale (Vice) and Viola Davis (Widows).
