Martin Scorsese’s epic Killers of the Flower Moon was named Best Picture at the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards, which were revealed today. The pic also took Best Supporting Actor for Robert De Niro. See the full winners list below.
Annette Bening and Colman Domingo scooped the respective Best Actress and Actor awards for playing real people in the biopics Nyad and Rustin. Bening’s co-star Jodie Foster won Supporting Actress.
Flower Moon and Nyad are the lone double winners on the film side, with the wealth being spread among eight other films.
Christopher Nolan took Best Director for his commercial and awards-season juggernaut Oppenheimer, while Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach won Best Screenwriter for 2023’s No. 1 movie, Barbie. Best Ensemble went to The Color Purple. Other winners include The Holdovers, Maestro, Still: A Michael J. Fox movie and The Zone of Interest.
The White Lotus’ Jennifer Coolidge and Your Honor‘s Bryan Cranston scooped the top TV Acting nods, with Succession landing Best Series.
AARP’s awards spotlight films and TV content that feature crucial issues, thoughtful storylines and top performances that speak directly to the 50-plus audience.
“It’s been a good year for shows and movies by and for people over 50,” said 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.”
