“Belfast” won the AARP Movies for Grown Ups Awards tonight in an under-publicized presentation.
Director Kenneth Branagh and star Judi Dench accepted the award in a pretaped message. Unlike in previous years, the AARP Awards was without an audience and obviously the winners knew in advance they’d been selected.
But it was a surprise that “Belfast” beat “The Power of the Dog” and “CODA.” Could it be an Oscar precursor?
Who else won? Who knows? For some reason, the rest of the show has been kept a secret. Nary a press release has been issued since January. But I think Will Smith took Best Actor. Keep refreshing for more info…
