AFI releases Top 10 lists

Kristen Wiig at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards on June 7 2011 in London

The American Film Institute released its annual Top 10 list of films and TV shows Sunday, and to no one’s surprise Kristen Wiig’s Bridesmaids and ABC’s Modern Family have made the lists.

The Chicago Tribune reported AFI named the raunchy comedy one of this year’s top films, along with George Clooney’s The Descendants, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (which hits theaters December 21), and The Help.

The Descendants also earned top honors from the L.A. Critics the same day. No Harry Potter or Twilight films made the list. However, AFI did give the Harry Potter series a special award, along with black and white silent film, The Artist.

E! News reported Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, and Game of Thrones joined Modern Family, which has made the list twice before, as TV’s top shows. Curb Your Enthusiasm and Parks and Recreation were the only other comedies to make the list.

Both media outlets indicated the films on the list will most likely be getting Oscars nominations. Check out the full lists below.
