This was a fantastic year for entertainment by and for people age 50 and up — the people we call “grownups.” Nearly half of the most recent acting Emmys went to older actors, and nine of the 20 nominees for acting at the 2025 Oscars were over 50 too. Here are our nominees for the year’s best film and TV projects featuring older performers and directors. The winners will be honored at the annual Movies for Grownups Awards at the Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, on January 10, and the ceremony will premiere on Great Performances on PBS on February 22. Tune in to discover the winners in these and other categories.
