AceShowbiz - "Knocked Up" was chosen as one of the 10 Best Films of 2007 as the American Film Institute announced their lists of top 10 outstanding motion pictures and TV programs of 2007. The romantic comedy movie starring Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl was listed alongside other film critics' favorite movies, "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly", "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood".
Apart from those four films, drama thriller movies, like "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" and "Michael Clayton", and drama comedy movies "The Savages" and "Juno" were also voted to be in the list. At the same time, "Into the Wild" also rounded up the list along with the only animated picture, "Ratatouille".
On January 11, 2008, those ten films, chosen by jury panel consisted of 13 members from scholars, critics and AFI trustees, will be honored with kudos at a luncheon at the Four Seasons Hotel, Los Angeles. The awards given are to recognize the excellence in the moving image arts with noteworthy creative and/or production elements from USA. Still, despite the fact that the approved films have to be produced by United States, the movies could be presented in other language than English, like the French language movie "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly".
