The 24th AARP Movies for Grownups Awards, presented by AARP: The Magazine, honored films and television series released in 2024. Nominations were announced on November 20, 2024, with the political thriller Conclave and the biographical musical drama A Complete Unknown leading the nominations with six and five, respectively.
Created by and about people over the age of 50, the winners were to be announced on January 11, 2025, at an in-person ceremony at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles, hosted once again by Scottish actor Alan Cumming. However, the awards ceremony was postponed to February 8, due to the January 2025 Southern California wildfires. The event was broadcast by Great Performances on PBS on February 23, 2025. Additionally, AARP Foundation, a charitable affiliate of AARP, donated proceeds raised from the Movies for Grownups Awards to local organizations to aid with Los Angeles' wildfire recovery efforts for affected families and communities.
Glenn Close received the Career Achievement Award.
