The American Film Institute released its top-ten lists for 2021’s best movies and television series today, and they span from intimate to sweeping, Earth to outer space, HBO all the way to HBO Max. AFI has a pretty high batting average when it comes to predicting Best Picture nominees, usually landing around seven out of ten.
This year’s Academy Awards will have a guaranteed ten Best Picture nominees for the first time since 2011, so who knows? Maybe this whole list will make it to the Dolby Theatre. In addition to the AFI’s top-ten lists, they also announced three “Special Awards” for “works of excellence that fall outside of the Institute’s criteria of American film and television.” Netflix leads the film list with three entries, while HBO and HBO Max had four series among the TV awardees.
