Sinners, co-produced by Sev Ohanian, wins four Oscars

The horror film Sinners, co-produced by Armenian-American Sev Ohanian, won four Oscars at the Academy Awards ceremony held in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Written and directed by Ryan Coogler and produced by Coogler alongside his wife Zinzi Coogler and Ohanian, the film received awards for original screenplay (Coogler), lead actor (Michael B. Jordan), cinematography (Autumn Durald Arkapaw) and original score (Ludwig Göransson).

Sinners entered the competition with a record 16 nominations. The top prize for best picture went to One Battle After Another, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, which won six awards overall.

The horror film follows two identical African American twins, World War I veterans and former gangsters, who return to their hometown in Jim Crow-era Mississippi and become entangled in a vampire saga.

Earlier in January, Ohanian accepted the Golden Globe Awards for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement for the film, while Sinners also won the Golden Globe for Best Original Score.
