I just watched the #AARP's annual #MoviesForGrownUps (#MFGU) award show for 2025 on #PBS last night. You can find a list of the winners here:

I always enjoy watching this show because it features the most "grown up" & intelligent movies made during the year. I also like it because the program is more tightly scripted & better organized than other award shows like the #Oscars & #GoldenGlobes.

MFGU winners often differ than those given for the Oscars & Golden Globes & this year I was pleased that they gave the #BestSupportingMovieActress award to #SF's #JoanChen for her performance in #Didi (the independent film about a #ChineseAmerican boy in Fremont in the 80's) produced & directed by #SeanWang who's work was recognized at #Sundance.

Saw Didi at the Elmwood in Berkeley, just received the #DVD. Don't know if it's available to be streamed yet but, if it sounds like something you'd like to see, stream it if you can.
