It’s that time of year. I’m on my annual movie watching marathon so I can write about the Academy Awards for movies made in 2019. So far, I like “1917” for best movie. I haven’t seen “The Irishman,” “Marriage Story,” “Ford v Ferrari,” or “Joker” yet.
AARP The Magazine’s 19th Annual Movies for Grownups Awards were held Saturday in Beverly Hills, celebrating 2019’s standout films with unique appeal to moviegoers 50-plus and recognizing the inspiring artists who make them.

Hi Jennifer,
I’m looking forward to seeing “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.” There are so many violent and sad movies, it will be a nice change.
