AFI AWARDS

2007 Honorees

AFI AWARDS is the only form of national recognition that honors the film and television creative ensemble as a whole--those people in front of and behind the camera--acknowledging the collaborative nature of film and television.

Ten AFI Movies of the Year, 10 AFI Television Programs of the Year and up to 10 AFI Moments of Significance are determined by AFI's unique selection process.

SELECTION PROCESS
Unlike any other film or television award currently given, the AFI AWARDS selections are made through AFI's unique 13—person jury process in which scholars, artists, critics and AFI trustees discuss, debate and determine the most outstanding achievements of the year, as well as provide a detailed rationale for each selection.

Two AFI juries—one for motion pictures and one for television—convene each year for two days of deliberation. The members of each jury remain confidential until the Awards are announced.

AFI is grateful to HP for creating 20 scholarships to the AFI Conservatory for a second consecutive year, one for each of the AFI honorees. The AFI Conservatory is world-renowned for its advanced training of the next generation of storytellers.
