The Toronto Film Critics Association has named Roma the Best Picture of 2018, with Alfonso Cuarón picking up the award for Best Director, for his personal story of a Mexican family in the 1970s.

It was one of several films to garner two awards from the critics’ group. Olivia Colman was named Best Actress for her role as Queen Anne in Yorgos Lanthismos’s comedy The Favourite, which also tied for Best Screenplay with First Reformed by Paul Schrader. And Ethan Hawke took the Best Actor prize for that movie, playing a conflicted protestant minister.

Burning, by South Korean director Lee Chang-dong, also earned two prizes; it was named Best Foreign-Language Film, and Steven Yeun took the Best Supporting Actor prize for his role as a wealthy playboy in the dark mystery.

Rounding out the acting categories, Regina King was named Best Supporting Actress for her role in If Beale Street Could Talk, a romantic drama from Barry Jenkins, whose last film, Moonlight, won Best Picture at the Oscars two years ago.
