	MCN Commentary: AFI Nine Moments of Significance in 2004
		Each year, AFI AWARDS adds another volume to the history of American film and television by documenting the collective opinion of the moving image communities, archiving the year's significant moments and honoring the talent and collaborative teams who have created the year's outstanding accomplishments.
		AFI AWARDS 2004 selections were made through AFI's unique 13-person jury process in which scholars, artists, critics and AFI trustees discuss, debate and determine the most outstanding achievements of the year, as well as highlight these significant events that shape our culture.
		AFI Moments of Significance may include accomplishments of considerable merit; influences with either a positive or negative impression; trends, either new or re-emerging; anniversaries or memorials of special note; and/or movements in new technologies, education, preservation, government or other areas that impact the art of the moving image.

	High drama for divided AFI awards - Film - Entertainment - smh.com.au
		This year's AFI Awards will be divided into two ceremonies for the first time: one for those who work behind the scenes on a film, and the other for actors, directors and key staff.
		Awards for cinematography, editing, production design, sound and costume design and screen composing will not be handed out at the main AFI Awards on November 26.
		Instead, the changes to the main AFI Awards, which are being televised live on Channel 9, appear to have been made with the public firmly in mind.

	The Mediadrome - Film - First Annual AFI Awards
		Initially we got the standard, 'so-and-so can't be here tonight, so the AFI accepts this award on his/her behalf' spiel, but apparently the situation became so embarrassing that they stopped doing even that, instead switching to a long shot of the stage, cuing the swelling music and going directly to commercial.
		Staging awards shows is almost an art in itself, one of which the organizers of Saturday night's bash seemed blissfully unaware.
		CBS and the AFI promoted the show as "the first major awards show of the year," but in order for that statement to mean anything, the awards themselves must have some relevance — which they couldn't possibly have in their first year.

		Iíve been particularly concerned that the awards have been too influenced by the Oscars, that hype has taken precedence over excellence, that feature films have been favoured over short films and documentaries, and that the awards have dominated and unbalanced the film cultural activities of the AFI.
