Sinners wins Outstanding Performance by a Cast at Actor Awards

Ryan Coogler added another major accolade when Sinners took home Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture at tonight’s Actor Awards, cementing the 1930s-set Southern vampire epic as one of the year’s most talked-about ensemble achievements. Set in rural Mississippi in 1932, Sinners follows gangster twins Smoke and Stack—both played by Michael B.

Jordan—who return home after years in Chicago with plans to open a juke joint nightclub. What begins as a celebration of community, culture and music spirals into chaos when a trio of vampires, led by Jack O’Connell’s Remmick, descend on the town. The cast also includes Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku and breakout performer Miles Caton.

Reviewers praised the film as Coogler’s most visually audacious work, highlighting the sweaty, sensual nightclub sequences driven by a standout soundtrack and choreography and noting how the film frames Jordan as a real film star.
