Favored by artists and entertainment executives for its intimacy and collaborative recognition, the annual gathering is the only form of national appreciation that honors the creative ensemble as a whole — those in front of and behind the camera — and is popular with honorees because there are no winners or losers.
Marking its 20th year as part of the American Film Institute's ongoing record of excellence within the creative community, AFI AWARDS honorees are selected by a jury comprised of experts, including film and television artists, critics, scholars and AFI Trustees.
