Best Movie for Grownups: Star Wars: The Last Jedi

For 40 years, Star Wars has been the movie of our generations — the generations 50 and older — and The Last Jedi is the episode that honors them all. In an industry that's too often preoccupied with youth, the film respects the past, taking us back to fond memories — yet it is also of the moment, innovative, vital and in touch with a vast public. And speaking of touch, Mark Hamill has just the right one as an older and wiser Luke Skywalker. In Jedi, the actor and his character passed the baton to a new generation. Hamill and costar Kelly Marie Tran presented director Rian Johnson with our top film award. Also nominated: Get Out, Lady Bird, The Shape of Water and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

Best Actress: Annette Bening in Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool

Bening based her first Oscar-nominated role in 1990's The Grifters on Gloria Grahame, the age-defying noir star whose movies included It's a Wonderful Life. She began developing this movie in 1994, waited 23 years until she was grown up enough to play Grahame, and delivered an exhilaratingly definitive performance. Also nominated: Judi Dench, Salma Hayek, Frances McDormand and Meryl Streep.

Best Actor: Gary Oldman in Darkest Hour

He invested blood, toil, tears, sweat and more than 220 hours in Oscar-nominated prosthetics and makeup to become Winston Churchill. Like Churchill, Oldman "mobilized the English language and sent it into battle.” Also nominated: Steve Carell, Daniel Day-Lewis, Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington.

Career Achievement Award: Helen Mirren

Superstar Helen Mirren is clearly the prime suspect for an award honoring an actress whose success grows with age: Ninety-three percent of her movies' $1.5 billion total earnings arrived after she turned 50, along with most of her top acting honors, including an Oscar for The Queen. Presented with the award by her Winchester costar Jason Clarke, Mirren joins previous AARP career achievement winners Morgan Freeman, Michael Douglas, Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon, Sharon Stone, Robert Redford and Robert De Niro.
