“My heart is filled with gratitude at the news of the nominations from the Golden Globes. I am honored to be recognized along with Zinzi Coogler, Sev Ohanian, Ludwig Goransson, Raphael Saadiq, and the great Michael B. Jordan, who was able to deliver two incredibly layered performances. Mike often makes carving characters into the global cultural consciousness look easy. Having worked with Michael for well over a decade I’ve seen him do it from up close again and again, but from day one on Sinners, I knew he was on a different level this time. We were all in awe at his artistry, determination, and discipline while bringing Smoke and Stack to life, and I knew it would register with audiences, but I secretly hoped that the highwire act of these two performances would not be overlooked. I’m so excited that his work was recognized. Sinners was a team effort and a family affair. We assembled an impeccable cast and dedicated crew who are all masters at their craft. The story was built out of a love for my uncle, a passion for the theatrical experience, and an obsession with America’s greatest contribution to global popular culture- Blues music. That I had the opportunity to make this film with this cast and had WB release it to packed theaters all over the world was gift enough, but the reality that Sinners is still being thought of nearly eight months after our initial release is an incredible blessing. Thank you to the Golden Globes, to WB, to our cast and crew, and to everyone keeping discussion about our film alive.”

Amazingly, the dog is still sleeping! It’s an incredible and surreal honor to be nominated alongside these stunning performances and women. Thank you to my inspiration, dear friend and visionary Nia DaCosta for trusting me to be your Hedda, to our amazing collaborators at Amazon MGM Studios/Orion for championing this film, to the talented craftspeople, crew and cast most especially the extraordinary Nina Hoss – my performance is buoyed by all of their brilliance. Playing an iconic canonical character was a gift because every day I felt connected to the generations of storytellers before and after me, committed to trying to shed some light on the beautiful, impossible, scary, and wondrous thing of what is is to be a human. Thank you to the Golden Globes for celebrating what we do, and for this nomination.”🫀

“Thank you, Golden Globes, and congrats to my SINNERS family! This was by far my most challenging and rewarding performance— bringing to life (and death) two distinct brothers in SINNERS. We are only here because of the brilliance and relentless fearlessness of Ryan Coogler. A decade after we first started working together, Coogler once again pushed us to unlock another level together. This film, built upon layers of complexities, taps into all of our histories. It’s a movie about love and loss, and asks us — what is the price of freedom? By recognizing this film, you are honoring our legacy and the legacy of an industry built on bold, original storytelling. THANK YOU.”
