The American Film Institute (AFI) has revealed the 10…make that 11…best films of 2014, expanding the group’s annual list by one for the first time in AFI Awards history. AFI also announced the 10 best TV series of 2014, or as they describe it, the films and television programs “deemed culturally and artistically representative of the year’s most significant achievements in the art of the moving image.”
On the movie side of the awards, a lot of familiar titles earned spots in the top 11, with Boyhood and Birdman – early Oscar favorites that have been raking in kudos from critics groups – making the cut. The TV awards portion of AFI’s list represented a batch of new shows including Jane the Virgin and Transparent.
“We celebrate these films and television programs as more than just milestones in a year of excellence.” said Bob Gazzale, AFI President and CEO. “They are a part of our American cultural heritage – collectively, a new chapter in the story of the art form and of our nation.”
