A Year of Big Movies and TV Shows

The American Film Institute (AFI) just shared its top 10 films and TV shows of the year. This list is a big deal because it often hints at what might win Oscars later. Warner Bros. had a great year with two films making the cut: "One Battle After Another" and "Sinners. " Other standout movies include "Hamnet, " "Marty Supreme, " and "Jay Kelly. " These films show how diverse this year's cinema has been, with a mix of indie films, big studio hits, and international stories. HBO Max, Netflix, and Apple TV+ also did well in the TV category. HBO Max's "The Pitt" and Netflix's "Adolescence" were among the top picks. Apple TV+ had three shows on the list, including "Severance" and "The Studio. " Some big movies didn't make the list, like "F1" and "A House of Dynamite. " This could make their Oscar chances harder. The AFI list also shows how tricky it is to predict what will win awards these days, especially with so many great international films. The AFI Awards are a big deal because they often match up with the Oscars. This year's winners were picked by a group of experts, including critics, scholars, and industry professionals. The awards ceremony will happen on January 9.
