23rd AARP Movies for Grownups Nominations

The major caveat here is that outside of the writing category, no one can be nominated here who isn’t eligible for AARP membership (50 years or older). You don’t have to be American, though. A lot of Oscar contenders are here, but also a lot of non-contenders abound.
