The Detroit Film Critics Society is pleased to announce the Best of 2018 nominees in twelve categories. The Detroit Film Critics Society was founded in Spring 2007 and consists of a group of twenty-one film critics with a Michigan connection who write or broadcast in the Detroit area as well as other major cities including Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Lansing, and Flint, Michigan; Toledo, Ohio; and New York City.

Each critic submitted their top five picks in the following categories: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Ensemble, Breakthrough in any category, Best Screenplay, Best Documentary, Best Animated Feature, and Best Use of Music.

From these submissions, each entry was given a point value and the top five in each category have been placed on the final ballot.

The final ballots will now be given to each critic to rank in order. The results will be tabulated and the winners will be announced on Monday, December 3, 2018.
