AARP The Magazine announced the nominees for its annual Movies for Grownups Awards on Tuesday, with Oppenheimer leading the pack with six nominations.
Killers of the Flower Moon follows closely with five nods, and The Color Purple, Poor Things, The Holdovers and American Fiction each earned four nominations. In the TV categories, The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, Succession and The White Lotus all received two nods.
For more than two decades, AARP’s Movies for Grownups initiative has advocated for the 50-plus audience and encouraged films and TV shows that resonate with older viewers. This year, Movies for Grownups Awards winners will be announced in the February/March issue of AARP The Magazine, rather than through an in-person ceremony as in years past.

And this year’s bumper crop of masterworks worth a grownup’s time suggests that it’s happening,” says AARP film and TV critic Tim Appelo said in a statement. “AARP’s Movies for Grownups Awards fights industry ageism and they’re a measure of social change as well as artistic excellence.”
