The Best Actress field is a starry field with Annette Bening (Nyad), Juliette Binoche (The Taste of Things), Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor (Origin), Helen Mirren (Golda) and Julia Roberts (Leave the World Behind). But Killers of the Flower Moon Golden Globe winner and Oscar hopeful Lily Gladstone didn’t make the list.

The Reality Series hopefuls are The Amazing Race, America’s Got Talent, The Golden Bachelor, Jury Duty and The Voice.

Palme d’Or and two-time Golden Globes winner Anatomy of a Fall was among the awards-season hopefuls shut out in the Movie for Grownups noms. And the triple Globes-winning limited series Beef didn’t make the AARP cut.

“Our goal has always been to ignite cultural change in Hollywood through our Movies for Grownups initiative, and this year’s bumper crop of masterworks worth a grownup’s time suggests that it’s happening,” AARP film and TV critic Tim Appelo said. “AARP’s Movies for Grownups Awards fights industry ageism, and they’re a measure of social change as well as artistic excellence.”
