The American Film Institute (AFI) Awards 2001 honored the best in film and television of the year. The nominations were announced on December 17, 2001 and the ceremony was broadcast on January 5, 2002 on CBS. It did not do well in the ratings (getting only 5.5 million viewers), so it would not be held in this format again. The AFI would go back to just listing the Top 10 Films and Top 10 Television Programs of the year, and not have any technical nor acting categories.
