Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, the biopic about a pivotal period in the life of Bruce Springsteen, was named best period film at the 2026 Movies for Grownup Awards with AARP, which were presented on Saturday (Jan. 10) at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. 

The Springsteen film, which fell short of expectations but was by no means a bomb, beat Dead Man’s Wire, Marty Supreme, Nuremberg and Sinners in that category.

Another film about a legendary rock act came up short at the Movies for Grownup Awards. Becoming Led Zeppelin lost best documentary to My Mom Jayne, actress Mariska Hargitay’s film about her late mother, 1960s sex symbol Jayne Mansfield.

The Movies for Grownups Awards honor films and television projects that celebrate the voices and stories of those who are 50-plus. This year’s show, hosted by Alan Cumming, the Tony and Primetime Emmy-winning host of The Traitors, will be broadcast by Great Performances on Sunday, Feb. 22, at 7 p.m. ET/PT/6 p.m. CT on PBS and the PBS app.

Hamnet won the top award, best picture/best movie for grownups, though it won no other awards. One Battle After Another won three awards on the night — best ensemble, best screenwriter for Paul Thomas Anderson and best supporting actress for Regina Hall.

Sentimental Value and the TV series The Pitt each won two awards.

Adam Sandler received the Movies for Grownups career achievement award and amused the audience with a tongue-in-cheek “top 10” list of signs he’s officially growing up. Henry Winkler, a friend of Sandler’s since the comedian included Winkler’s Happy Days character Arthur Fonzarelli in his 1994 classic “The Chanukah Song,” spoke to Sandler’s character.

Chloé Zhao, Paul Mescal, and Jessie Buckley accepted the award for Hamnet, and Noah Wyle and R. Scott Gemmill accepted best tv series or limited series for The Pitt. 

George Clooney, honored as best actor for Jay Kelly, and Wyle, recognized as best TV actor for The Pitt, presented the awards to one another, a nod to their longtime friendship and collaboration that began in 1994 on the blockbuster series ER.

Clooney reflected on his role in Jay Kelly, saying, “I couldn’t believe my luck that I got to play the part… This film was made by people who love actors.” Wyle added that The Pitt has given him the chance to thrive at this stage of his life.

Best actress winner Laura Dern, honored for Is This Thing On?, spoke about legacy and the privilege of storytelling: “My parents [Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd] taught me… we are lucky and blessed to be part of this industry. It is an extraordinary gift not to be wasted.”

Kathy Bates, who received best TV actress for Matlock, dedicated her award to her mother and reflected on how opportunities continue to evolve — even at the age of 77. “Thank the good Lord, week after week, especially older women who have reached out to share how empowered they are to finally be able to feel seen in their own lives,” she said.

Jacob Elordi presented the best director award to del Toro, saying, “With Frankenstein, Guillermo returns to a story he’s carried with him for decades. This version isn’t about spectacle. It’s about responsibility — about what it means to create something and what happens when you don’t take care of it.”

The annual Movies for Grownups Awards raises funds for AARP Foundation, which works to strengthen older adults’ financial resilience.

The NFL Wild Card weekend is here and so far it hasn’t disappointed. On Saturday, the Carolina Panthers almost pulled off a major upset against the Los Angeles Rams and the Chicago Bears put on a show against their heated rivals, the Green Bay Packers. Next up, the Buffalo Bills head to Jacksonville to take on a young and motived Jaguars squad let by Trevor Lawrence.

This matchup isn’t a long-standing rivalry game, but it does have major career stakes for both quarterbacks: Lawrence and Josh Allen. Josh, who’s undoubtedly a top QB in the league has continued to fall short in the playoffs against his AFC counterpart Patrick Mahomes. With the Chiefs, alongside the Lamar Jackson and the Ravens and Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals all out of the postseason, there isn’t an easier path for Allen to finally make it to the Super Bowl. However, defeating the Jaguars hard-hitting defense is no easy take.

Bob Weir, guitarist and co-founder of The Grateful Dead, is being remembered by musicians, artists and public figures across the music and entertainment worlds following news of his death. He was 78.

Weir’s death was confirmed Saturday (Jan. 10) by a statement published on his official social media accounts, where it was revealed he “transitioned peacefully, surrounded by loved ones,” after previously beating cancer and later succumbing to underlying lung issues.

Tributes began pouring in on Saturday after Weir’s family confirmed his passing, describing him as having “transitioned peacefully, surrounded by loved ones,” after previously beating cancer and later succumbing to underlying lung issues.

Bravo host Andy Cohen shared an Instagram post on January 10, calling Weir “That Guy” for his “impossibly beautiful and wildly fiery, intense and passionate” presence.

He recalled his first Grateful Dead show in 1986 at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin, praising Weir’s fierce voice as “rays of sunshine,” and fondly remembered Weir’s appearances on Watch What Happens Live, including his graceful phrasing of Jerry Garcia’s death as “checkin’ out.”

Don Felder, former Eagles guitarist, remembered first seeing Weir perform with the Grateful Dead at Woodstock.

“I was blown away by that whole band, and the musicianship,” Felder wrote, adding that he felt “so blessed” to have Weir sing on his solo track “Rock You.” Felder concluded his message with, “Until we meet again, amigo.”

Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash shared a photo of Weir performing onstage with his leg raised, simply captioning it “RIP” alongside a broken-heart emoji. 

Primus frontman Les Claypool called Weir “one of the nicest humans I’ve ever met in the music world,” describing him as “a legend on many levels.”

Michael Franti, in a lengthy statement, recalled Weir’s openness and curiosity, sharing memories of performing together at a peace concert following the events of Sept. 11.

“A true giant in music made time to stand in a park with a few hundred people and help us send a musical message of peace,” Franti wrote.

Sean Ono Lennon shared a photo jamming with Weir, writing, “It was a great pleasure and a privilege to know you, brother.”

Is new music from Gracie Abrams coming soon? Though the follow-up to her 2024 album, The Secret of Us, doesn’t have a release date, the singer-songwriter is itching to unleash her next record.

“I’m beyond ready for it to belong to everyone else,” Abrams said of what’s to come in an interview with People, who spoke with the singer-songwriter at a Jan. 7 Chanel event at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles.

“I’ve never felt this way about anything I’ve made before, so it’s definitely driving me crazy in a good way,” she added of the music she’s been creating for her third album.

When asked about the anticipation of releasing GA3 out to the world, Abrams noted, “I love the feeling. I really like it right now. I think I feel kind of calm about it. I’ve been lucky enough to spend a lot of time with it.”

“At the end of the day, it’s all about the people you get to make things with and spend your time with, and that means the most to me right now,” she said. “So, yeah, any day in the studio is a great day.”

Abrams hasn’t yet revealed who she’s been sharing studio time with this time around — but she worked with producer Aaron Dessner (of the National) on her first two full-length albums, 2023’s Good Riddance and 2024’s The Secret of Us, which launched at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.

The Secret of Us featured a duet with Taylor Swift, “us.” The track was nominated for a Grammy in the best pop duo/group performance category at the show’s 2025 ceremony, though the award ultimately went to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars for “Die With a Smile.” Swift and Abrams performed “us.” live together once on Swift’s Eras Tour, for which Abrams also had a slot as opener at select dates.

What might fans hear on Abrams’ third studio album? Nothing’s confirmed, but she performed two unreleased songs over the summer — one called “Out of Nowhere” (live at Glastonbury) and one titled “Crazy Girl” (at BST Hyde Park). She debuted another song earlier in 2025, “Death Wish,” which was recorded live at a U.K. stop on her The Secret of Us Tour and released as a promotional track in April.

Abrams was honored as Songwriter of the Year at the 2025 Billboard Women in Music Awards in March.

Bob Weir, guitarist and jam-band pioneer who co-founded The Grateful Dead and continued their legacy in the 21st century with Furthur, Dead & Company and more, died due to underlying lung issues after fighting cancer. Weir’s death was confirmed Saturday (Jan. 10) by a statement published on his official social media accounts. He was 78.

“It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Bobby Weir. He transitioned peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, after courageously beating cancer as only Bobby could. Unfortunately, he succumbed to underlying lung issues,” said the statement, which can be found on Weir’s Instagram.
 
The note continued: “For over sixty years, Bobby took to the road. A guitarist, vocalist, storyteller, and founding member of the Grateful Dead. Bobby will forever be a guiding force whose unique artistry reshaped American music. His work did more than fill rooms with music; it was warm sunlight that filled the soul, building a community, a language, and a feeling of family that generations of fans carry with them. Every chord he played, every word he sang was an integral part of the stories he wove. There was an invitation: to feel, to question, to wander, and to belong. 
 
Bobby’s final months reflected the same spirit that defined his life. Diagnosed in July, he began treatment only weeks before returning to his hometown stage for a three-night celebration of 60 years of music at Golden Gate Park. Those performances, emotional, soulful, and full of light, were not farewells, but gifts. Another act of resilience. An artist choosing, even then, to keep going by his own design. As we remember Bobby, it’s hard not to feel the echo of the way he lived. A man driftin’ and dreamin’, never worrying if the road would lead him home. A child of countless trees. A child of boundless seas. 
 
There is no final curtain here, not really. Only the sense of someone setting off again. He often spoke of a three-hundred-year legacy, determined to ensure the songbook would endure long after him. May that dream live on through future generations of Dead Heads. And so we send him off the way he sent so many of us on our way: with a farewell that isn’t an ending, but a blessing. A reward for a life worth livin’.
 
His loving family, Natascha, Monet, and Chloe, request privacy during this difficult time and offer their gratitude for the outpouring of love, support, and remembrance. May we honor him not only in sorrow, but in how bravely we continue with open hearts, steady steps, and the music leading us home. Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings.”

In a career spanning six decades, Weir was key to developing the Grateful Dead from garden-variety psychedelic rockers as the Warlocks to godfathers of the jam band genre. Weir’s loping, syncopated guitar style, modeled after “McCoy Tyner’s left hand,” may not have made much sense in a traditional rock band, but to the Dead, it was a crucial puzzle piece.

His decades-long bandmate, bassist Phil Lesh, called him “a stealth machine” in a 2012 feature in The New Yorker. “[Bob is] still absolutely enigmatic to me,” producer Don Was told GQ in 2019. “He’s part Segovia and part John Lee Hooker, and he does both simultaneously — this exotic blend of the raw and the cerebral.”

Raised by adoptive parents in San Francisco, California, Weir met his future Dead bandmates in 1964. In high school, he began music lessons at the feet of Jerry Garcia, who then taught guitar and banjo at Dana Morgan Music in Palo Alto after being dishonorably discharged from the U.S. Army. Weir became Garcia’s occasional substitute teacher, and eventually, he was recruited for Garcia’s band, the Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions — featuring bassist Lesh, keyboardist Ron “Pigpen” McKernan and drummer Bill Kreutzmann. 

Inspired by The Beatles’ rise, the band pivoted to rock and roll, briefly playing out as the Warlocks before discovering that another band had taken the name. At a band meeting, Garcia flipped through a dictionary under the influence of DMT and blurted the first two words that he saw: “grateful dead.”

The newly christened Grateful Dead released their self-titled debut in 1967, featuring R&B standards and originals with a lysergic tint, but they soon revealed themselves as a much different beast. Eager to capture their swirling live energy, they released Live/Dead in 1969, in which they stretched songs like “St. Stephen” and “Dark Star” like taffy until they were sidelong juggernauts. 

On that album, one can hear Weir’s playing developing from blues licks to odd, percolating lines that had little to do with traditional rock guitar — and could push Garcia and Lesh to new improvisational heights. “I derived a lot of what I do on guitar from listening to piano players,” he told GQ. “[McCoy Tyner] would constantly nudge and coax amazing stuff out of Coltrane.”

The Dead went on to release an ocean of official live albums, which only scratched the surface: a massive “taper” subculture formed around their fan-traded bootlegs. As they veered into space-rock territory, Weir kept the sets grounded with cowboy songs, like Merle Haggard’s “Mama Tried,” and Dylan covers, like “When I Paint My Masterpiece.” He released his solo debut, 1972’s Ace, with the rest of the Dead as his backing band. 

After rough goings in the disco era with 1978’s Shakedown Street, the Dead flirted with pop success by way of 1987’s “Touch of Grey,” a friendly ode to survival from their eventually double-Platinum-certified In the Dark LP that peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. During this period, when a struggling Garcia would sometimes check out onstage, Weir stepped up as the Dead’s preening showman, appearing onstage in lavender tank-tops and cutoff shorts.

The Grateful Dead got by and survived through health scares and drug issues, and remained together and vital until Garcia’s death in 1995, performing over 2,300 concerts and selling over 35 million albums. After they disbanded, Weir stayed busy with band offshoots like The Other Ones (later known as The Dead), Furthur, RatDog and more. 

In the later years of his life, he performed Dead material on the road with Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, new collaborator John Mayer and more as Dead & Company, and gained a zealous social media following for documenting his health and workout regimen. 

In 2017, he was appointed a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for his efforts to fight climate change while serving on the board of the company Tribal Planet. “I’d also like to see people reflexively consider the good of the planet in the choices they regularly make,” he told Billboard in 2017. 

And up to the end, he never stopped exploring the possibilities of his instrument, or the liquid possibilities a song can take. “Jerry came to me in a dream not long ago and introduced a song to me,” he told GQ. “It was kind of protoplasmic — you could see right through it. And he just confirmed to me what I always suspected: that a song is a living organism.”
