Sinners Sets BAFTA Record as Most Decorated Black-Directed Film
At the BAFTA Film Awards 2026, Warner Bros.' Sinners became the most decorated film by a Black director, winning Best Original Screenplay for Ryan Coogler, Best Supporting Actor for Wunmi Mosaku, and Best Original Score for Ludwig Göransson, among 13 nominations. The film eclipses Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave as the most decorated Black-directed film; BAFTA has yet to honor a Black filmmaker with Best Director, while One Battle After Another won Best Film.
