AARP Movies for Grownups Nominations Reveal Adults Love Spielberg and Butt Plugs

The American Association of Retired Persons looked out at their tired, their old, their huddled masses, and said, “You guys like multiverses and butt-plug jokes and hot-dog fingers, right? Right?!” The AARP Movies for Grownups Awards nominations came out December 15, which is great news for anyone who wants to watch an awards show with “Movies” in the name that also gives awards to TV shows. The top nominee is Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans, with six nominations, with the Daniels’ Everything Everywhere All at Once and Gina Prince-Bythewood’s The Woman King following with five. Because this is the AARP awards show, the nominated films are competing in categories like “Best Picture/Best Movie for Grownups,” “Best Intergenerational Movie,” and “Best Time Capsule.”

Notably sparsely nominated was The Banshees of Inisherin, which picked up just one nod (Brendan Gleeson in Best Supporting Actor), just a few days after scoring eight nominations at the Golden Globes on December 12. Maybe adults aren’t into portrayals of vast loneliness in late middle age. Maybe adults don’t like Ireland. Maybe adults just like Raccacoonie more than Jenny the Donkey. AARP’s Movies for Grownups Awards will be held on January 28 and be hosted by Alan Cumming, but will not be broadcast until February 17 on PBS — a network that is betting that the show’s target audience won’t know to look up the winner list halfway through.
