American Film Institute Announces Top 10 Films of 2010

The AFI (American Film Institute) listed it’s Top 10 films of the year, and there weren’t a lot of surprises to be had. Many of the films currently stand as front runners for the top 10 in the Best Picture category for this year’s Academy Awards. A couple however weren’t eligible, including The King’s Speech which is a British film. However, the film was awarded a special jury prize.

The AFI also put up a list of their top 10 television programs of the year. Many of the shows had already been rewarded earlier this year during the Emmy’s, but a couple including The Walking Dead and Boardwalk Empire will not be eligible until next year’s awards. Are we getting a peek to further into next year?

  • No love for one of my favorite (if not my favorite) film of 2010- Blue Valentine. Very powerful movie with very powerful performances.

    Is it safe to say that Rabbit Hole isn't as strong as the trailer makes it look? Not seeing it on many (if any) lists so far.
