- The film earned three BAFTAs: Original Screenplay (Ryan Coogler), Best Supporting Actor (Wunmi Mosaku), and Best Original Score (Ludwig Göransson).
- With three wins, Sinners is the most decorated film by a Black director in BAFTA history.
- Sinners received 13 BAFTA nominations—the most ever for a film directed by a Black filmmaker—and previously set an Oscars record with 16 nominations.
