LOS ANGELES – The dramas “Precious” and “The Hurt Locker,” the comedies “Up in the Air” and “The Hangover” and the animated tales “Up” and “Coraline” are among the top-10 movies of the year chosen by the American Film Institute.
Also on the AFI’s list are the dramas “The Messenger,” “A Serious Man,” “A Single Man” and “Sugar.”
Unlike other film honours, the institute does not rank films or pick one as the year’s best. The filmmakers behind the top-10 choices will be honoured at a luncheon Jan. 15.
The AFI also picked its top-10 TV programs of the year: “The Big Bang Theory,” “Big Love,” “Friday Night Lights,” “Glee,” “Mad Men,” “Modern Family,” “The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency,” “Nurse Jackie,” “Party Down” and “True Blood”.
