American Film Institute Announces 2020 Honorees
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.
