AFI announced today that the AFI AWARDS 2025 honorees-only event will take place on Friday, January 9, 2026, at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills.
Celebrating the collaborative nature of film and television, AFI AWARDS is the only national program that honors creative teams as a whole, recognizing those in front of and behind the camera. All of the honored works advance the art of the moving image, inspire audiences and artists alike, and enhance the rich cultural heritage of America’s art form. When placed in a historical context, these stories provide a complex and rich visual record of our modern world. AFI AWARDS selections are made through a jury process where AFI Trustees, artists, critics and scholars determine the year’s most outstanding achievements and provide artistic and cultural context for the selection of each honoree.
Submissions and deadlines will be announced in the coming weeks. The honorees will be announced in December 2025.

Can you please nominate Angela Bassett? She has a lot of accolades. I believe that this is award is really overdue for her to win. She has been in the movie industry for 20+ years she has done tons of movies. I think if anyone more rewarded for this award will be Angela Bassett.
