Ludwig Goransson won Best Original Score at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards for his work on the film Sinners. The win marks his second Golden Globe and his sixth nomination overall, continuing a steady run of high-profile recognition in film scoring.
The category was competitive. Goransson was nominated alongside Alexandre Desplat for Frankenstein, Jonny Greenwood for One Battle After Another, Max Richter for Hamnet, Hans Zimmer for F1, and Kangding Ray for Sirat. His score for Sinners has been closely tied to the film’s atmosphere, helping shape its tone and narrative rhythm.
The award was not presented during the live broadcast. The Best Original Score category was cut for time, a decision that drew criticism from composers and industry figures. Hans Zimmer later addressed the omission in comments to Deadline, arguing that music is central to how films function and are remembered.
The ceremony also recognized Best Original Song, which went to Golden from Kpop Demon Hunters.With the Golden Globe win now secured, Sinners enters the next phase of awards season with added momentum as attention shifts toward the Oscars.
