Armenian-American producer Sev Ohanian is once again making waves in Hollywood. His latest film, Sinners, has achieved a historic milestone at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, earning five nominations and joining the ranks of the most-nominated films in Grammy history, The Armenian Report writes.
Directed by Ryan Coogler, Sinners is a dark, emotionally charged Southern Gothic drama that delves into themes of faith, guilt, and survival, blending horror and spirituality. The film has garnered acclaim for its distinctive storytelling and a powerful soundtrack that has now earned major recognition in the music industry.
Five Grammy Nominations for Sinners
The film dominated the visual media categories, receiving nominations for:
• Best Score Soundtrack for Film/TV – Composer Ludwig Göransson was recognized for his haunting, gospel-infused score, which amplifies the movie’s emotional intensity and spiritual depth.
• Best Song Written for Film/TV (x3) – Sinners made a remarkable sweep with three original tracks:
• “I Lied to You” – written by Ludwig Göransson & Raphael Saadiq, performed by Miles Caton
• “Pale, Pale Moon” – written by Göransson & Brittany Howard, performed by Jayme Lawson
• “Sinners” – written by Leonard Denisenko, Rod Wave, Travis Harrington, Tarkan Kozluklu, Kyris Mingo & Darius Povilinus, performed by Rod Wave
• Best Compilation Soundtrack for Film/TV – The official soundtrack album, blending gospel, blues, and soul, earned praise for its emotional resonance and cultural depth.
The Grammy recognition caps an extraordinary year for Sinners, which has been celebrated for redefining modern Black horror while highlighting the role of music in storytelling. Its soundscape, deeply rooted in the Black Southern experience, has turned the film into both a cinematic and cultural phenomenon.
With five nominations, Sinners now stands alongside legendary soundtracks from films such as The Bodyguard, Purple Rain, and A Star Is Born.
The movie debuted to impressive box office results, grossing $45.6 million in its opening weekend in the United States and an additional $15.4 million internationally, bringing its total to $61 million worldwide.
The 68th Annual Grammy Awards will take place on February 1, 2026, at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, where anticipation is high to see how many accolades Sinners will bring home.
Ohanian, known for producing films that combine suspense and emotional depth, has an impressive portfolio, including Searching, Run, Judas and the Black Messiah, and Missing. With Sinners, he added an acclaimed horror drama to his repertoire, starring Michael B. Jordan in dual roles as Stack and Smoke, alongside Omar Benson Miller, Hailee Steinfeld, Jayme Lawson, and others. Recently, Sev Ohanian was featured in Variety’s “41 Under 40: The New Leaders Class of 2025” list, further cementing his status as a rising force in Hollywood.
