Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans” led all films in nominations for AARP The Magazine’s annual Movies for Grownups Awards, which were announced Thursday morning.
Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical childhood film received six nominations, one more than “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and “The Woman King,” which received five.
Those three films are competing in the Best Picture/Best Adult Film category along with “Elvis,” “Tár,” “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Talking Women.”
Acting nominees included Cate Blanchett for “Tár,” Emma Thompson for “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande,” Michelle Yeoh for “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” Tom Cruise for “Top Gun: Maverick,” Brendan Fraser for “The Whale”. and Bill Nighy for “Living.”
Judging by the nominations, adults like the same movies as almost everyone else this year, and the recognition goes to many of the same movies and people who have already been singled out by other groups. AARP’s list is different in large part because Martin McDonagh’s dark comedy “The Banshees of Inisherin” fell out of all categories except for Best Supporting Actor, where Brendan Gleeson earned the nod-only film rating; and because acting contenders like Austin Butler for “Elvis” and Michelle Williams for “The Fabelmans” were passed over in favor of Tom Hanks for “A Man Called Otto” and Lesley Manville for “Mrs. Harris goes to Paris.
“Better Call Saul” and “Abbott Elementary” led the TV categories with two nominations each.
The 21st annual Adult Movies ceremony will take place on Saturday, January 28 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills.
