Movies for Grownups 2016 Awards Nominees

Three-time Emmy award winner Margo Martindale will host the 16th annual Movies for Grownups Awards in February — honoring the winning actors and nominees, all 50 and older, selected by the editors of AARP The Magazine.

"It's been a powerful year of smart and compelling filmmaking and brilliant performances that speak directly to an audience with a grownup state of mind," says Myrna Blyth, senior vice president and editorial director for AARP Media.

Martindale, whose career spans four decades, is no stranger to award shows: She's been nominated for five Emmys — and has won three times for two different series on FX: the crime drama Justified and the spy drama The Americans. She also has won two Critics' Choice Awards: one for Justified and a second for The Good Wife.

All of Martindale's career honors have come since 2011, the year she turned 60.

"Sometimes things just take time," she said after her first Emmy win. "I don't know if I would have appreciated this when I was 30."

This year, Martindale and her costar in The Hollars, Richard Jenkins, are Movies for Grownups nominees for Best Grownup Love Story.

They will be in stellar company at the Feb. 6 award ceremony in Beverly Hills, Calif. Proceeds from the event benefit AARP Foundation, which helps struggling people 50 and older in Los Angeles and around the country transform their lives through programs, services and legal assistance.
