Ryan Coogler’s Sinners’ to Receive Ensemble Tribute at 35th Gotham Film Awards

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners’ cast will receive the Ensemble Tribute at the 35th Annual Gotham Film Awards. 

With this tribute, The Gotham will honor Sinners’ ensemble cast, which includes Michael B. Jordan (in dual roles as Smoke and Stack), Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, Buddy Guy, Li Jun Li, Delroy Lindo, and others.

Set in 1932 Mississippi, Michael B. Jordan stars as twin brothers Smoke and Stack, who, after chasing success in the North, return to Clarksdale, MS to open a juke joint and revive the soul and spirit of their hometown. As music and dance meld in celebration of artistry, culture, and history, an evil descends, threatening to devour the fabric and heart of the community – and all that Smoke and Stack have worked to achieve. It is a genre-bending and multi-layered exploration of Black culture and the Blues music that is unique to it through the lens of a Southern Gothic epic.

“Led by Michael B. Jordan’s magnificent dual roles, the remarkable ensemble cast of Sinners gives bracing, inspired performances that create one of the great cinematic experiences of the year,” said Jeffrey Sharp, Executive Director of The Gotham Film & Media Institute, in a statement.

He continues, “Each talented member of this group brings a rich intensity and authenticity throughout the film’s unique twists and turns. “

Since the category’s inception, the Gotham Awards’ Ensemble tribute has been awarded to notable projects, including Moonlight, The Hurt Locker, Babel, Winter’s Bone, The Favourite, The Trial of the Chicago 7, Fire Island, and, most recently, The Piano Lesson, among others.

Winners of the 35th Annual Gotham Film Awards will be honored at the awards ceremony on Monday, December 1, 2025. Nominees will be announced on October 28th, 2025.
