“Sinners” has won four Oscars so far, all at the 2026 Academy Awards.

Quick Scoop: What Oscars Did Sinners Win?

Here’s the full list of Oscars that Sinners took home:

  • Best Actor in a Leading Role – Michael B. Jordan for Sinners 🏆
  • Best Original Screenplay – Ryan Coogler for Sinners
  • Best Original Score – Ludwig Göransson for Sinners
  • Best Cinematography – Autumn Durald Arkapaw for Sinners (her win also made history as the first woman to win this category)

Despite leading the night with a record 16 nominations, Sinners did not win Best Picture or Best Director; Best Picture went to One Battle After Another.

Mini context: why this is a big deal

  • 16 nominations is the most for any film in Oscar history, which made the “what Oscars did Sinners win” question a huge talking point during and after the ceremony.
  • The film converted four of those nominations into wins, which commentators framed as strong but not a full sweep, especially after losing Best Picture late in the night.
  • Autumn Durald Arkapaw’s cinematography win drew extra attention on social media and forums because of its historic “first woman” milestone.
