Movies and TV shows to watch with your SO

Yesterday, I wrote that I don't really see a prosperous future for Peacock. All in all, I think the streaming services will eventually be Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plooos, Amazon, and HBO Max, with some more niche, cheap services filling in the margins for those who can't be without. But those seem like the clear heavyweights. HBO Max was not a champion out of the gate, but it's going to get there by sheer force of will, apparently. It helps people like me that it launched with Love Life, rather than The Trench or whatever.

AFI AWARDS was created in 2000 to recognize the films and television programs which contribute to our collective cultural legacy. When placed in an historical context, these stories provide a complex, rich, visual record of our modern world. Since then, AFI AWARDS has honored 10 outstanding films and 10 outstanding TV programs deemed culturally and artistically representative of the year’s most significant achievements in the art of the moving image.

Collectively celebrating the most outstanding film and television programs of the year, AFI AWARDS 2021 honorees will be announced on December 8, 2021. The official selections will be feted at an honoree-only event on Friday, March 11, 2022, in Los Angeles. Immediately following, AFI will also launch a 20-day tribute to each honoree with new and exclusive content for the daily global audience in AFI Movie Club.

Unique in its celebration of the art form’s collaborative nature, AFI AWARDS is the only national program that honors creative teams as a whole – recognizing those in front of and behind the camera.

SELECTION CRITERIA
Honorees are selected based on works which:

Advance the art of the moving image
Inspire audiences and artists alike
Enhance the rich cultural heritage of America’s art form
A UNIQUE JURY PROCESS
AFI AWARDS selections are made through AFI’s unique jury process – in which scholars, artists, critics and AFI Trustees determine the most outstanding achievements of the year.
