The American Film Institute on Thursday announced its official selections for the AFI Awards 2016 celebrating the best ten films and television shows of the year.

The “culturally and artistically significant” selections are complemented by the choice of O.J.: Made In America as recipient of an AFI Special Award.

“Year after year, we are reminded of the power of artists to bring us together as one,” AFI president and CEO Bob Gazzale said. “AFI Awards is proud to recognize the achievements of the storytelling teams who have enlightened and informed us, guided and inspired us, and ultimately invited us to empathise with others in a reminder of our common humanity.”
