POKWANG, ANNE CURTIS, NADINE LUSTRE AND JM DE GUZMAN GETS FILM CRITICS NOD

Pinoy Rebyu released the results of their annual poll that chooses the best feature films, best performances and technical excellence for movies released in 2018. The 36 respondents, mainly film reviewers and bloggers unanimously voted "Oda sa Wala" as the Best Feature Film for 2018. Marietta Subong A.K.A. Pokwang topped the poll for best performance in a leading role for her stellar performance in the same movie as an old maid stuck in a town that long ceased to recognizer her existence. Therese Malvar ("Distance) edged out Arjo Atayde ("Buy Bust") for the best performance in a supporting role.

As expected, the top 20 best feature films is dominated by independent films, however it is noteworthy to mention that a few mainstream actors or shall I say popular stars like Anne Curtis ("Sid & Aya" and "Buy Bust") and Nadine Lustre ("Never Not Love Me") made the top 20 cut leaving their respective screen partners Dingdong Dantes and James Reid excluded on the list. Paolo Avelino's performance in "Goyo: Ang Batang General" failed to make it.but the film ranked 7th place. Sad to say, only a few films in the top 20 did well at the box-office and the rest were just confined to festival and micro-theater screenings and some never got released due to difficulty in booking for commercial run.

Here's the Top 20 List in 4 categories, detailed as under:
