The 2001 AFI Awards 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. Each winner is in
bold with the other nominees after:
Movies , Director of the Year winner , Actor of the Year – Male – Movies winner , Actress of the Year – Female – Movies winner , Featured Actor of the Year – Male – Movies winner , Featured Actress of the Year – Female – Movies winner , Cinematographer of the Year winner , Screenwriter of the Year winner
