Star Wars: The Last Jedi Wins Best Movie for Grownups Award

Via Variety.com:

Disney-Lucasfilm’s “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” has won the best movie for grownups award, presented Monday night at AARP The Magazine’s 17th annual awards show at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

“The Last Jedi” topped “Get Out,” “Lady Bird,” “The Shape of Water” and “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” for the prize. Mark Hamill and Kelly Marie Tran presented the award to director Rian Johnson, who said that it was time to retire the dictum that one should not meet one’s heroes.

“You’re Luke Skywalker, man,” he told Hamill.

Tran noted the film was her first movie role and gave her the sense that anything is possible, given that she’s the daughter of Vietnamese immigrants.

Gray Oldman won the best actor award for his role as Winston Churchill in “Darkest Hour” and Annette Bening took the trophy for best actress for her portrayal of Gloria Grahame in “Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool.” Richard Jenkins was named best supporting actor for “The Shape of Water,” which also won best director for Guillermo del Toro.
