Ryan Coogler’s acclaimed 2025 film “Sinners” has earned five nominations at the 2026 GRAMMY Awards across three major categories, placing it among the most‑nominated films in Grammy history. The nominations include:
- Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media — Composer Ludwig Göransson’s evocative, blues-infused score.
- Best Song Written for Visual Media — Three standout tracks: “I Lied to You”, “Pale, Pale Moon”, and “Sinners”.
- Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media — Showcasing a diverse lineup of artists, blending blues, gospel, and contemporary sounds.
The soundtrack has been praised as the emotional heartbeat of the film, featuring Göransson’s innovative use of a 1932 Dobro guitar to create a period-authentic atmosphere. Critics describe the music as elevating Sinners beyond traditional genre boundaries.
Beyond the GRAMMY recognition, Sinners has also made strides in accessibility, debuting a Black American Sign Language (BASL) version for streaming audiences. With buzz building for other major awards, the GRAMMY nominations highlight the film’s crossover appeal and the power of its music to resonate with audiences worldwide.
