Sinners + Other Horror Connections at the Golden Globes

While Sinners might not have won as many awards as horror fans would have wanted, the original and groundbreaking film from Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) did win for Original Score as well as Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. Ludwig Göransson’s soundtrack is, as always, a thoughtful and compelling study of culture and character. The box office numbers speak for themselves and people love those monsters (human, vampire, and otherwise).

Speaking of monsters, Best Female Performance in a Drama Motion Picture Winner Jessie Buckley will be starring in this year’s The Bride! Directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, The Bride! will be a retelling of the Bride of Frankenstein’s creation.
