In anticipation of January 1, 2014 and its 14th annual awards "show" (really just a private luncheon), the American Film Institute (AFI) revealed its list of the best movies and television shows of 2013, CNN reported. If you're wondering where to place the AFI's among the many other award shows -- like the Oscars, Golden Globes, MTV Movie Awards, Emmy's, People's Choice, and so on -- here's the distinction: the AFIs are about honoring a group rather than individuals organized by category, or, in the words of the AFI, to recognize "the most outstanding achievements of the year ... not as competitors, but as a community." The AFI doesn't even televise the ceremony, but instead has a low-ley luncheon involving award winners only, according to CNN.

A panel of critics, scholars, AFI staff and members, and TV and film artists elected 10 television shows and 10 movies onto its annual list. Selections were "culturally and artistically representative of the year's most significant achievements in the art of the moving image," according to an AFI statement.

Two network shows made it this year -- "Scandal" (third season, ABC) and "The Good Wife" (fifth season, CBS) -- compared to just one last year, Modern Family (ABC). "The Good Wife's" admittance may have been spurred by this season's major plot transformation as the lead actress finds herself in a legal battle between her old firm and her new one. HBO claimed two shows on the top ten ("Game of Thrones" and "Veep") as did Netflix ("House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black") and AMC ("Breaking Bad" and "Mad Men"). Starz ("Masters of Sex) and FX ("The Americans) picked up the remaining two spots.

Choosing movies was a little more difficult, for five of movies ("Her," "Wolf of Wall Street," "Saving Mr. Banks," "American Hustle," and "Fruitvale Station") haven't even come out yet and a few of those won't debut until mid January. That's probably a good sign for movie fans, as those titles likely won't disappoint; if they do, however, the AFI's list could seem less prestigious. The remaining five: "12 Years a Slave," "Nebraska," "Inside Llewyin Davis," "Gravity," and "Captain Phillips."
