Oscar Hopefuls Populate AFI’s Top 10 Films of 2014 (Er, Top 11)
After a flurry of critics groups announced winners this weekend, the American Film Institute (AFI) announced their top 10 films of 2014. Make that a top 11. For the first time in their history, they had a tie so we have a top 11 list. Not a whole lot of surprises, most of the same big names being tossed around this fall like Birdman, Boyhood, Selma and Unbroken.
Harvey was able to finagle The Imitation Game, a largely British production, onto this American list (he was unable to do that with The King’s Speech back in 2010), which received a special citation). Foxcatcher saw a much-needed breath into a dying campaign. Surprisingly though, the box office smash Gone Girl and The Grand Budapest Hotel wind up snubbed here, in favor of the likes of Nightcrawler and Interstellar, a box office and critical dud.
The List:
He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
