Sinners

"Sinners" is a vampire thriller film directed by Ryan Coogler. It was a major contender at the 2026 Academy Awards, receiving a record 16 nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director, but ultimately won four Oscars. The film's performance at the Oscars is newsworthy because it was expected to boost viewership, but the ceremony's ratings dipped to a four-year low. "Sinners" also gained significant attention at the Actor Awards, where Michael B. Jordan won, impacting the Best Actor race leading up to the Oscars. Despite losing to "One Battle After Another" at both the Oscars and the BAFTAs, "Sinners" remains a significant film of 2026, demonstrating Coogler's continued influence in Hollywood. Coogler's involvement with "Sinners" has also led to his reboot of "The X-Files."
