PHOTOS: RENEE ZELLWEGER, ANNETTE BENING, MORE – MOVIE FOR GROWNUPS AWARDS

The Movies For Grownups Awards 2020 were held over the weekend in Beverly Hills. AARP’s Movies for Grownups program has championed movies for grownups, by grownups, by advocating for the 50-plus audience, fighting industry ageism, and encouraging films that resonate with older viewers. Hosted by iconic screen and stage performer Tony Danza, the star-studded awards ceremony included a touching tribute to Career Achievement Award honoree, Annette Bening who spoke about the power of shared purpose, vulnerability and comradarie in filmmaking as Tinseltown’s elite turned out to laud her.

The awards will air as part of Great Performances for the third consecutive year on Sunday, Jan. 19, 2020, at 6 p.m. ET on PBS (check local listings), and will be available to stream the following day on pbs.org/moviesforgrownups and the PBS Video app.

The AARP Movies for Grownups Awards are awards given out to “champion films made by and for grownups.” Given annually by the AARP, they began in 2002 with the goal of encouraging Hollywood to make more movies by and about people over the age of 50.
