The annual list, released ahead of the major
2021 award shows, is not ranked but is one of the first
indications of the films expected to do well at the Oscars and
Golden Globes.
It includes Spike Lee's Vietnam drama "Da 5 Bloods," Chadwick
Boseman's last movie "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," "One Night in
Miami" about a meeting in 1964 between Black icons Cassius Clay,
Sam Cooke, Malcolm X and Jim Brown, and Black Panther story
"Judas and the Black Messiah."
"Minari," the story of a Korean immigrant family in search of
the American dream in 1980s, was also on the list, along with
animated movie "Soul", starring Jamie Foxx, "The Trial of the
Chicago 7," "Nomadland," and "Mank."
The movie version of the hip-hop musical "Hamilton," about the
founding fathers of the United States, was given a special
award.
The AFI Awards, chosen by a jury of filmmakers, critics, and
academics, annually honors the entire creative teams of the 10
films and television shows of the past year that it deems most
culturally and artistically representative.
The 10 television shows honored were; "Better Call Saul," "Bridgerton,"
"The Crown," "The Good Lord Bird," "Lovecraft Country," "The
Mandalorian," "Mrs. America," "The Queen's Gambit," "Ted Lasso"
and "Unorthodox."
The nominations for the Golden Globes are due to be announced
next week, with Oscar nominations scheduled for March 15.
