Who won Best Original Score at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards for Sinners?

The story behind the answer

Ludwig Göransson won Best Original Score at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards for Sinners.

Göransson composed the music for Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, a period supernatural horror film starring Michael B. Jordan in dual roles. The score supports the film’s Mississippi setting and its mixture of historical drama, horror, and music-centered storytelling.

He won against Alexandre Desplat for Frankenstein, Jonny Greenwood for One Battle After Another, Kangding Ray for Sirāt, Max Richter for Hamnet, and Hans Zimmer for F1. The award was announced during the ceremony but was not included in the main CBS broadcast because of time constraints.

Göransson is a Swedish composer and producer whose earlier credits include Black Panther, Oppenheimer, The Mandalorian, and Creed. The Golden Globe recognized the film’s original score, not its songs; “I Lied to You” was a separate original-song nominee.
