“Top Gun” Maverick” was named Best Picture/Best Movie for Grownups at the 21st annual AARP Movies for Grownups Awards on Saturday night. Michelle Yeoh won Best Actress for “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and Brendan Fraser was honored as Best Actor for “The Whale.” The event was held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills and were hosted by Tony winner and four-time Emmy nominee Alan Cumming.
“Maverick” won out for the year’s top film over “Elvis,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “The Fabelmans,” “Tár,” “The Woman King” and “Women Talking,” while Yeoh was chosen over Cate Blanchett (“Tár”), Viola Davis (“The Woman King”), Lesley Manville (“Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris”) and Emma Thompson (“Good Luck to You, Leo Grande”). Fraser received the nod as lead actor over Tom Cruise (“Top Gun: Maverick”), Tom Hanks (“A Man Called Otto”), Bill Nighy (“Living”) and Adam Sandler (“Hustle”).
Judith Ivey was cited as Best Supporting Actress for her performance in “Women Talking,” while the Best Supporting Actor prize went to Judd Hirsch for “The Fabelmans,” the only of its six nominations that the film converted to a win. Indeed, the awards wealth was spread far and wide on Saturday, as only one film (“Elvis”) won more than a single award – Baz Luhrmann earning Best Director and the film landing Best Time Capsule – while the TV series “The Old Man” also took home two: Jeff Bridges for Best Actor (TV) for Best TV Series. Other TV awards went to Emmy and Critics Choice victor Sheryl Lee Ralph as Best Actress (TV) for “Abbott Elementary” and “Black Bird” was honored as Best Limited Series.
Luhrmann – who was passed over for an Oscar nomination – took the directorial statue over James Cameron (“Avatar: The Way of Water”), Todd Field (“Tár”), Gina Prince-Bythewood (“The Woman King”) and Steven Spielberg (“The Fabelmans”).
Jamie Lee Curtis was presented Saturday night with the Movies for Grownups Career Achievement Award by Oscar nominee Brian Tyree Henry (“Causeway”).
