The American Film Institute (AFI) on Sunday announced its selection of this
year's top 10 films, which include the final installment of "The Lord of the
Rings" and the Cartoon hit "Finding Nemo."
This is the fourth year the AFI has honored the most outstanding movies
and television programs in the US.
The AFI Awards 2003, selected by AFI's 13-person jury, did not indicate
the AFI's preferences and were listed in alphabetical order. They include:
American Splendor; Finding Nemo; The Human Stain; In America; The Last
Samurai; The Lord of The Rings; The Return of The King; Lost in
Translation; Master and Commander; The Far Side of The World; Monster; Mystic
River.
"We don't rank them because what we want to celebrate is the creative
collaboration in front and behind the camera that made these stories
possible," said Jean Picker Firstenberg, AFI director and chief executive
officer.
The winners of the AFI Awards in television were "Alias," " Angels in
America," "Arrested Development," "Everybody Loves Raymond," "Joan of
Arcadia," "Nip/Tuck," "Playmakers," "Soldier's Girl," "24," and "The Wire."
The AFI will honor the creative ensembles for each of the honorees at a
luncheon on Jan. 22, 2004, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles,
California.
