The American Film Institute has announced its selections for the top ten movies and TV shows of the year. This year's honorees include Ben Affleck’s hostage drama Argo and Showtime’s Homeland.

The organization says its award honorees “are selected based on works which best advance the art of the moving image, enhance the rich cultural heritage of America’s art form, inspire audiences and artists alike, make a mark on American society and represent the year’s most outstanding achievements in film and television.”

The American Film Institute says it honors the creative ensembles involved in the projects as a whole. The ensembles involved in this year’s top movies and TV shows will be honored January 11 at a luncheon in Los Angeles.

I guess I need to crawl out from under the rock where I'm living because I haven't seen any of the movies yet and I only watch one of the TV shows.  Yikes!  Did your favorites land on the list?  ~Vanessa
