PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — 6abc is following the road to the Oscars.<\/p>\n
While Hollywood may have the biggest night, Philadelphia also has a ceremony honoring the year’s best films.<\/p>\n
The Philadelphia Film Critics Circle crowns its own winners. Rich Heimlich and Stephen Silver co-founded the organization in 2017.<\/p>\n
Every year, they hand out their awards before any of the big ceremonies.<\/p>\n
Heimlich told Action News, “This is probably the best boxing card since Ali\/Frazier. And I mean that in every sense, it’s basically a head-to-head with two, you know, two boxers, two opponents. “<\/p>\n
Those two films are “One Battle After Another” and “Sinners.”<\/p>\n
The Philadelphia Film Critics Circle chose “One Battle After Another” as their Best Picture, and the film’s director, Paul Thomas Anderson, also won.<\/p>\n
Their Best Actor Award went to Michael B. Jordan in “Sinners.”<\/p>\n
“Hamnet”‘s Jessie Buckley won their award for Best Actress.<\/p>\n
Their other two acting awards went to stars from “One Battle After Another.”<\/p>\n
Teyana Taylor won Best Supporting Actress and Benicio Del Toro for Best Supporting Actor.<\/p>\n
The Philadelphia Film Critics Circle also hands out an award in a category all our own, the Phillips Steaks Cheesesteak Award. The winner this year was Superman, which starred Philadelphia native David Corenswet.<\/p>\n
