“Sinners” wins two Golden Globes; loses out on Best Motion Picture

One Battle After Another emerged as a major winner, taking home the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical. The film continued its strong showing by earning three additional honors, including Best Supporting Actress for Teyana Taylor, along with Best Director and Best Screenplay awarded to Paul Thomas Anderson.

Taylor’s win stood out, as she surpassed fellow nominee Amy Madigan for Weapons. During her acceptance speech, Taylor delivered a powerful message of representation and empowerment, emphasizing that women of color belong in every space, their voices are significant, and their dreams deserve recognition.

“To my brown sisters & little brown girls watching tonight… We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter, our dreams deserve space,” Taylor said during her acceptance speech. 

Meanwhile, Hamnet, directed by Chloe Zhao, claimed the Best Motion Picture – Drama award, edging out Sinners in the final category of the evening. Despite the loss, Sinners still achieved notable recognition by winning the Golden Globe for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.

Addressing the audience, filmmaker Ryan Coogler reflected on the realities of the film industry, noting that filmmaking is often more about persistence than glamour. He expressed gratitude that the project received a theatrical release and shared how the team frequently reminded themselves during production in New Orleans that audiences would eventually experience the film on the big screen.

“We don’t always, when we work in the film business, wear tuxedos and get glammed-out. It’s usually a grind,” Coogler told the crowd. “It was an honor on this movie to know that it was getting a theatrical release. We would remind people every day, in the dog days of summer in New Orleans — we would say, ‘Hey, big movie. People are going to see this — big theater.’”

Sinners earned $280 million in the United States and was a rare movie that garnered both critical acclaim and massive popularity.

Coogler continued, “We didn’t know that they would show up, so we just want to say thank you that they did. It meant the world to us.”
