American Film Institute Awards

The American Film Institute Awards (also known as the AFI Awards) are awards presented by the American Film Institute to recognize the top ten films and television programs of the year. Unlike other accolades about the art form, the AFI Awards acknowledge the film and television productions deemed culturally and artistically representative of the year's most significant achievements in the art of the moving image in American cinema.[citation needed]

Media that does not fit the AFI's conventional eligibility criteria for the main categories, such as non-American productions as well as other types of media, are given recognition through the AFI Special Award.

The 2000 AFI Awards honored the Top 10 Films of the year.

The 2001 AFI Awards honored the best in film and television of the year. The nominations were announced on December 17, 2001, and the ceremony was broadcast on January 5, 2002, on CBS. It did not do well in the ratings (getting only 5.5 million viewers), so it would not be held in this format again. The AFI would go back to just listing the Top 10 Films and Top 10 Television Programs of the year, and not have any technical nor acting categories.

Each winner is in bold with the other nominees after:

The 2002 AFI Awards honored the Top 10 Films and Top 10 Television Programs of the year.

The 2003 AFI Awards honored the Top 10 Films and Top 10 Television Programs of the year.

The 2004 AFI Awards honored the Top 10 Films and Top 10 Television Programs of the year.
