LOS ANGELES – AARP the Magazine says its Movies for Grownups Awards will be televised for the first time next year, when Helen Mirren will receive its lifetime achievement honours.
The magazine announced Wednesday that Mirren will accept the Career Achievement Award at a ceremony on Feb. 5, 2018. The 17th annual Movies for Grownups Awards will premiere on PBS on Feb. 23.
Mirren says she is “greatly honoured” by the award, adding that she considers film a high art form and “the ultimate mirror up to nature.”
