The AFI named its top 10 films and and TV shows of the year. In film they snubbed “Lion,” “Jackie,” and “Loving,” and included “Zootopia” and the questionable choice of “Hacksaw Ridge.” I think they made a mistake on “Lion,” but hey– they sure didn’t ask my opinion.
On the TV side, only one network show– “This is Us”– made the cut. And two OJ Simpson projects were named– “The People vs. OJ Simpson” made the top 10, and a special award went to “OJ: Made in America.” Simpson is probably sitting in jail thinking he’s a star. No, OJ, you are reviled. These shows try to explain how you brutally killed two people. Just FYI.
