AARP The Magazine announces Movies for Grownups Awards

        AARP The Magazine has unveiled the winners of the annual Movies for Grownups (MFG) Awards with “Killers of the Flower Moon” taking the top honor for Best Picture/Best Movie for Grownups.
        Every year, AARP spotlights films and TV content that feature crucial issues, thoughtful storylines and talented filmmakers and performances that speak directly to a powerful 50-plus audience.
        “It’s been a good year for shows and movies by and for people over 50,” says AARP TV and Film Critic Tim Appelo. “Grownup talent and stories are being recognized across the board, and ageism in Hollywood does seem to be gradually eroding, with help from AARP. In 2000, shortly before the Movies for Grownups Awards began, only one of the top 10 box office stars was over 50; today, half are.”
        For more than two decades, AARP The Magazine’s Movies for Grownups has recognized the talent and experience of older actors and filmmakers. AARP continues to champion movies for grownups, by grownups by advocating for the 50-plus audience and encouraging films and TV shows that resonate with older viewers.
