The American Film Institute (AFI) list of the best films of 2023 includes a movie that hasn’t been getting as much awards buzz as it deserves. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse finally shows up on a top 10 list, and hopefully, its appearance will remind critics groups and awards voters to revisit the critically acclaimed animated film.
AFI’s selection of TV programs might also stir up some buzz around Prime Video’s bizarre comedy Jury Duty. Rounding out their top 10 TV show list are the usual suspects, along with the first seasons of The Last of Us and Poker Face.
“As our nation and our world continue to navigate difficult times, AFI is honored to shine a proper light upon these works of art that lift us up and, ultimately, lead us to empathy,” stated Bob Gazzale, AFI President and CEO. “That we do so without competition is AFI’s hallmark, and we are proud to gather this community of artists together – as one – to celebrate their extraordinary contributions to our time.”
AFI will host their annual luncheon to recognize their honorees on Friday, January 12, 2024.
