The grown-ups have spoken. This year’s nominees in AARP The Magazine’s Movies for Grown-ups Awards are led by a movie for grown-ups, about grown-ups: The Two Popes. Starring Jonathan Pryce and Anthony Hopkins, the film has been nominated in all the major categories: Most Grown-up Movie for Grown-ups, Best Actor (Pryce), Best Supporting Actor (Hopkins), Best Director (Fernando Meirelles), Readers’ Choice, Best Screenwriter (Anthony McCarten), and Best Buddy Picture. Were Popes Benedict XVI and Francis “buddies� According to AARP, yes. Elsewhere, Little Women earned two nominations, one of which is for Best Intergenerational Movie. I’m really hoping that’s shade to Jo March’s inevitable marriage to Professor Bhaer. (Anyone reading an article about AARP’s movie awards doesn’t get to complain about Little Women spoilers — the book is 150 years old.) Here is the full list of nominees for the 19th Annual Movies for Grown-ups Awards.
