Adam Sandler will receive AARP's Movies for Grownups career achievement award, his second AARP prize

On Jan. 10 Adam Sandler will receive AARP's Movies for Grownups career achievement award in Beverly Hills, with the ceremony airing on PBS's Great Performances in February.
AARP launched its Movies for Grownups initiative to support audiences over 50 and fight ageism, recognizing Adam Sandler for his durability and evolving range that resonates across generations.
Adam Sandler's career ranges from Saturday Night Live beginnings to both comedy and drama, recently reprising Happy Gilmore and joining George Clooney in Noah Baumbach's Jay Kelly.
This honour follows his previous AARP best actor win for Uncut Gems, when Adam Sandler rushed the stage early and Conan O'Brien sent him back, a gag reprised at the Oscars.
Over 50 audiences are central to AARP's mission, which this award highlights as part of its effort to promote films for grownups and spotlight work that engages viewers over 50.
