‘Oppenheimer’ Leads AARP’s Movies for Grownups Awards Nominations

Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” received six nominations and Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” received five to lead all films in noms for the AARP’s Movies for Grownups Awards, which were announced on Tuesday morning.

While the awards were established in 2001 to promote films for an audience over 50, this year’s nominees are essentially the same films that have been awarded and nominated by most other awards bodies. In the Best Picture/Best Movie for Grownups category, the nominees were “Oppenheimer,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Barbie,” “The Color Purple” and “Maestro.” Oscar contenders “The Holdovers,” “Poor Things” and “American Fiction” were not nominated in the top category but they did receive four nominations each, tying them with “The Color Purple.”
