With the Golden Globes last night, we’re getting an idea of which films, and actors, may be nominated for an Academy Award.
Every year, including for 2015, I write about the movies, looking for ageism, sexism, and violence. I usually see about 30 movies in a two-week period before the Academy Awards. This year, I’m going to start earlier.
It’s also fun to see which movies the editors of AARP The Magazine like. Its nominees for the 16th Annual Movies for Grownups Awards are:
Best Picture
“La La Land,” “Lion,” “Loving,” “Manchester By the Sea,” “Silence,” and “Sully.”
