Post subject:  AFI Top Ten
The American Film Institute has announced its annual list of the 10 best U.S. releases, which last year predicted nine of the eventual 10 Best Picture nominees. On the list this time are nine expected contenders: The Descendants, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Help, J. Edgar, Hugo, Midnight in Paris, Moneyball, The Tree of Life, and War Horse. But the AFI also included one very interesting dark horse: Bridesmaids.

Missing from the top 10: Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, The Ides of March, and Young Adult. Meanwhile, the Harry Potter series received a special award.

Not eligible for the list were non-American entries The Artist (which also received special recognition) and Tinker Tailor Solider Spy.

I’d say the biggest winners of the day are Dragon Tattoo and Bridesmaids, while Extremely Loud‘s exclusion doesn’t bode well for its chances in the coming weeks. After the film failed to screen in time for the National Board of Review and New York Film Critics Circle voting, the AFI was one of the first groups to see it for awards consideration.

Super-standard list. They could have come up with a better choice than J. Edgar, though. :P Hate the idea of this movie popping up throughout the season just because, "Oh, it's Clint, and he's still at it, and we love his career so much, and he always does such prestigious movies."
