Scorsese and his mob epic “The Irishman” have been honored by the AARP. In a Saturday night, Jan. 11, 2020, ceremony, the group named it the top movie for grownups in the past year, defining that group as people aged 50 and over.
NEW YORK — The Golden Globes may not have shown much love to filmmaker Martin Scorsese and his epic “The Irishman,” but the AARP has. The lengthy mobster’s tale was just best movie for grownups, in the 19th annual awards doled out by AARP The Magazine. The awards ceremony was held Saturday in Beverly Hills, Calif. Scorsese, its maker, was named best director.
Adam Sandler, who stepped away from roles that appealed to an audience considerably younger than the 50-plus group that the AARP awards cater to, won best actor for his serious turn as a jeweler in “Uncut Gems.”Supporting actor awards went to Laura Dern, who played a colorful divorce lawyer in “Marriage Story,” and Tom Hanks, who was Mr. Rogers in “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.
