AFI Awards: ‘Anora,’ ‘Emilia Pérez’ and ‘Wicked’ Among 10 Best Films, Top TV Shows Include ‘The Penguin’ and ‘Shogun’
AFI's Top 10 film list includes "Anora," "Dune 2, "Emilia Perez," "Sing Sing" and "Wicked" in 2024
Among them are indie auteurs (Sean Baker’s “ Anora ” and Brady Corbet’s “The Brutalist”), industry veterans (James Mangold’s “A Complete Unknown” and Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Two”), established filmmakers hitting their strides (Edward Berger’s “Conclave” and Jon M. Chu’s “ Wicked “), stylish visionaries (Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Pérez” and RaMell Ross’ “Nickel Boys”) and breakout filmmakers (Greg Kwedar’s “Sing Sing” and Jesse Eisenberg’s “A Real Pain”). However, the absence of Ridley Scott’s historical epic “Gladiator II,” Pedro Almodóvar’s English-language debut “The Room Next Door,” and Steve McQueen’s ambitious “Blitz” raises eyebrows, fueling speculation about their Oscar prospects. While past contenders like “Roma” (2018) and “Parasite” (2019) were deemed ineligible, Audiard’s “Emilia Pérez” avoided a similar fate thanks to its “significant creative and/or production elements” rooted in the United States.
