Yesterday, The American Film Institute (AFI) announced its list of what it considers to be the top 10 TV shows and films throughout the thick and thin of 2021. 

Crowning many big-name directors, projects catalyzed by streaming platforms, and even some impressive newcomers, AFI rounded up an honorable circle of winners. The organization, who only recognizes American productions in their eligibility, also chose a few honorable mentions that didn’t quite meet the criteria for top contenders to receive an AFI Special Award. 

The actual awards will be presented during the AFI Awards’ private reception taking place on January 7th at the Four Seasons in Los Angeles, California. 

See the top picks below (listed in alphabetical order).
