‘A Complete Unknown’ Wins Best Picture at AARP Movie Awards

After delaying its awards ceremony for several weeks following the wildfires in Los Angeles, AARP the Magazine announced the winners of its annual Movies for Grownups Awards on Saturday, with A Complete Unknown going home as the big winner.

The show, hosted by Alan Cumming at the Beverly Wilshire, celebrates TV and film for older audiences, and this year also presented a career achievement award to Glenn Close. Though Conclave came into the ceremony with the most nominations, the film left empty handed. A Complete Unknown took best picture as Demi Moore and Adrien Brody won the top acting prizes, and Shogun was recognized as best TV series.
