Dabarkads Awards 2018 is the fourth edition of the awards ceremony that honors the best moments of the Eat Bulaga!'s Holy Week special presentations for 2018. It took place at the Broadway Centrum on 7 April 2018.
The 2018 edition marked the return of the awards ceremony after going on hiatus in the previous year. It did not retain any category from former editions and instead featured three new categories.
The ceremony was done in the middle of the segment ACTually. The voting system for the year's ceremony was also not disclosed.
Overview
Unlike previous editions, the 2018 edition did not feature the traditional categories honoring the best actor, best actress, or the overall best story. Instead, it unveiled three new and unique categories–Hugot Line of the Year, Best Confrontation Scene, and Balde-Baldeng Luha Award–which recognizes specific memorable scenes in the stories instead.
Because the awards ceremony was done in the middle of the segment ACTually, its runtime is much shorter than previous editions. Instead of the usual elegant attires, the hosts and the nominees were also dressed in regular clothing in preparation for the game in ACTually.
