    The Hollywood Reporter – Mon, Dec 10, 2012

    The American Film Institute on Monday announced its selections for the 2012 AFI Awards, recognizing outstanding achievements in film and TV.

    Among its unranked selections for the 10 best movies of the year are Oscar front-runners Lincoln, Argo, Les Miserables, Zero Dark Thirty and Silver Linings Playbook. Also chosen: Moonrise Kingdom, Beasts of the Southern Wild and The Dark Knight Rises. But the institute had no love for The Weinstein Co.'s The Master, Paul Thomas Anderson's period drama loosely based on the beginnings of Scientology.

    In the TV category, AMC's Mad Men was selected for a fifth time, making it the most recognized AFI Awards winner in TV. ABC's Modern Family and AMC's Breaking Bad both made the list for a fourth time. Newcomers include HBO's Girls and FX's American Horror Story, while FX's Louie, AMC's The Walking Dead and Showtime's Homeland all made second appearances.

    “AFI Awards celebrates America’s storytellers as collaborators,” , AFI president and CEO Bob Gazzale said in a statement. “We are honored to bring together artists as a community, without competition, to acknowledge the gifts they have given the world in 2012.”
