"[The] AFI Awards is a time for more successful 2013 storytellers, take a break and appreciated - not as competitors, but as a community," said Bob Gazzale, president and CEO of AFI in a statement. "Recognizing their collective contribution to the richness of the cultural heritage of America is AFI national mandate - and honour."
Side movie, 12 years, that a slave, American Hustle, Captain Phillips, gravity, save Mr. Banks and The Wolf of Wall Street have been widely expected to be included on the list. Fruitvale station, him, inside Llewyn Davis and Nebraska were less sure bets, so their inclusion is certainly worthy of mention - as is the exclusion of all is lost, August: Osage County, blue Jasmine, Club of buyers of Dallas and Lee Daniels of Butler. (Last year, eight of the nine best possible picture Oscar nominees were among the top 10 movies from the AFI).
