Precursor: 18th AARP Movies for Grownups Nominations (2018)

With a handful of categories, there are several titles that have earned multiple nominations. No single film has really made an impression here except that All Is True is the kind of movie that this group would recognize that no one else would even know existed. Ben Is Back and Crazy Rich Asians have done better than with other groups as have What They Had and Widows.
