American Film Institute (AFI) Top 10 films and television shows of 2010

The American Film Institute (AFI) revealed their list of top 10 films and television shows of the year for 2010.
AFI does not rank the films or shows nor do they choose a top pick. Their ten Movies of the Year for 2010 were Black Swan, The Fighter,  Inception, The Kids Are All Right, 127 Hours, The Social Network, The Town, Toy Story 3, True Grit and Winter's Bone.

The AFI also gave a special award to the British film The King's Speech, and the documentary Waiting for 'Superman.' Both films were ineligible for the main top ten list, which recognizes only narrative American fiction films. Bob Gazzale, AFI President & CEO, recognized this and said, “This year and moving forward, in addition to honoring American storytelling in the narrative format, the juries may name Special Awards and it is AFI’s honor to shine a proper light on these artists and their achievements.”

The lists are selected by juries of scholars, critics and artists. This year's juries included Diablo Cody, Steven Bochco, Lee Daniels and Leonard Maltin.
