WASHINGTON—AARP The Magazine has unveiled the winners for the annual Movies for Grownups® Awards, which features honorees from The United States vs. Billie Holiday, The Life Ahead, The Father, The Trial of the Chicago 7 and more. For the inaugural year of the TV categories, the winners include This Is Us and The Queen’s Gambit. This year’s virtual event is hosted by the iconic Hoda Kotb, NBC News’ “TODAY” co-anchor and co-host of “TODAY with Hoda & Jenna.”
In a year where award shows have undergone major changes, movie theaters have been shuttered and the general public has been advised to stay at home, AARP’s Movies for Grownups Awards will continue its tradition of awarding high quality film talent and expand its categories into Television/Streaming.
“We are excited to share this year’s Movies for Grownups Awards honorees and celebrate the work of these formidable filmmakers,” said Tim Appelo, AARP film and TV critic. “Even during these trying times, creators continue to give audiences riveting imagery, captivating storytelling and indelible performances. We have expanded our categories into TV to reflect changes in how audiences consume content, and we can’t wait to share the stories of those whose work enriched our lives this year.”
AARP The Magazine’s Annual Movies for Grownups Awards will be broadcast by Great Performances on Sunday, March 28 at 8 p.m. on PBS (check local listings), pbs.org/moviesforgrownups and the PBS Video app. This is the fourth consecutive year the awards will be broadcast on PBS in a co-production with Great Performances and AARP Studios.
AARP’s Movies for Grownups program has championed movies for grownups, by grownups, by advocating for the 50-plus audience, fighting industry ageism and highlighting films that resonate with older viewers. AARP’s Movies for Grownups continues its commitment to celebrate quality content by expanding to honor standout TV programs in new categories.
