American Film Institute Announces 2020 Honorees

Share:

Today the American Film Institute (AFI) released the complete list of their 2020 honor winners, which can be found below.

The list was accompanied by the announcement of this year’s global AFI Movie Club which, beginning in February, will showcase the official selections alongside new and exclusive content. AFI says the exclusive content could be anything from the film’s stars introducing the titles to exclusive behind the scenes chats with actors and filmmakers.

Typically AFI’s awards would be held in person, however given the current state of the world AFI President and CEO Bob Gazzale has said that although the in person awards cannot happen the AFI Movie Club will celebrate the honorees with a global audience. The details of the AFI Movie Club are yet to be announced, although we do know that the AFI AWARDS tributes will conclude with a virtual event premiering Feb. 26 on YouTube.com/AFI and AFI.com.

LeeAnn is children's librarian who joined Nerds and Beyond in 2020 as a way to stretch her writing skills and connect with others who have the same pop culture passions as she does. She loves music, reading (obviously), and any TV show that can grab and hold her attention. Currently some of her favorite things to nerd out over include Supernatural, Prodigal Son, Louden Swain and Percy Jackson (books, theater, or upcoming show - lets leave the movies out of it).
