With wins at the BAFTAs, the Golden Globes, the Critics Choice Awards, the Hollywood Music in Media Awards, and the Society of Composers & Lyricists Awards, Ludwig Göransson’s score for Sinners has swept this season like few others. Göransson is set to win his third Academy Award in just seven years. And, at 41, he’ll be the second youngest person ever to win this category three times. Well played, sir.
