LOS ANGELES, Dec 12 (Reuters) - 'Toy Story 3' and 'Inception,' two of the year's biggest box office hits, secured spots on the list of the American Film Institute's 10 top movies of 2010, organizers said on Sunday.
The film-promotion body's other top picks, in alphabetical order, were 'Black Swan,' 'The Fighter,' 'The Kids Are All Right,' '127 Hours,' 'The Social Network,' 'The Town,' 'True Grit' and 'Winter's Bone.'
The group, one of many industry bodies expounding on the year's best films as awards season heats up, does not list the films in order of merit.
Its choices followed a predictable path of acclaimed movies divided between mainstream and arthouse fare. 'Black Swan' and 'The Fighter' have only just come out in limited release, while the Coen brothers' remake of the Western 'True Grit' hits the trail later this month.
The results were determined by a jury of critics and other industry notables.
Another jury picked the year's top TV programs, most of which received Emmy Awards in August. They were 'The Big C,' 'Boardwalk Empire,' 'Breaking Bad,' 'Glee,' 'Mad Men,' 'Modern Family,' 'The Pacific,' 'Temple Grandin,' '30 Rock,' 'The Walking Dead.'
The AFI will honor the creative ensembles behind the films and series at an invitation-only awards luncheon in Los Angeles on Jan. 14.
