Vimeo has announced the winners for its 2018 Best of the Year Staff Picks Awards. Unlike previous years, Vimeo brought in a distinguished jury to screen the nominees in each category and decide the winner. Jury members included actor Alan Cumming, Oscar-winning documentarian Roger Ross Williams, “Monsters and Men” breakout director Reinaldo Green, “21 Jump Street” co-director Phil Lord, and more.
All seven award recipients below will receive a cash prize and a physical trophy, in addition to the Best of the Year badge. The winning films will also be screened at Nitehawk Cinema in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on January 17. To decide the nominees, which were announced January 7, Vimeo’s in-house curation team chose 93 titles with the Staff Picks badge from 2018 in seven categories. Last year alone, there were over 1,200 Staff Picks.
