Steven Spielberg’s The Post finally earned some nomination love from an organization, from the AARP Movies for Grownups. The film earned a field-best five nominations (including Spielberg, Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks) but strangely missed out on Best Picture. The Shape of Water, with four, earned top honors in Picture and Directing, among others.
Get Out, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri were the other Best Picture nominees.
“2017 was filled with marvelous movies and performances that appeal directly to a powerful audience – the 50-plus. We are delighted to celebrate another year of actors, directors and writers that brought the most compelling stories to life on the silver screen,” says Myrna Blyth, svp and editorial director for AARP Media. “After nearly two decades of celebrating AARP’s Movies for Grownups, we are also thrilled to share our awards show with viewers at home.”
