“Minari,” “Nomadland,” “One Night in Miami,” “The Trial of the Chicago 7” and “The United States vs Billie Holiday” are vying for the Best Picture/Best Movie for Grownups Award announced Monday by AARP The Magazine. AARP’s Movies for Grownups have for the past two decades promoted films for grownups by grownups, fighting for the 50-plus audience and industry ageism. The Movies for Grownups Awards also celebrate television.
“Each year at Movies for Grownups, we spotlight the films that feature today’s crucial issues and top grownup talents,” said Tim Appelo, AARP film and TV critic, in a statement. “In this pandemic year, when movies loomed larger than ever in our lives, we are excited to have a bumper crop of masterworks-and to recognize achievements on TV for the very first time.”
The MFG Awards winners will be announced on March 4; Hodo Kotb of NBC’s “The Today Show” and “Today with Hoda & Jenna” will emcee the awards ceremony on PBS’ ‘Great Performances” on March 28.
