BAFTA Winners 2025
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) have announced the winners of the 79th British Academy Film Awards, honoring the best in film in 2025.
In the Best Original Music category, the winner was Ludwig Göransson, who won the award for his score for Sinners, director Ryan Coogler’s Deep South vampire horror film which, in addition to being a bloody thriller, also examines the origins of Black American music. Göransson was not at the ceremony to accept his award, which was accepted by Coogler instead He said:
“I am not Ludwig Göransson. He is much taller, much more good looking, and much more Swedish. He is also in a lot of pain for not being able to be here tonight, he is working on a small indie film for Dame Donna Langley and Sir Christopher Nolan, it’s called The Odyssey. I hope people show up to see it. He’s working away, and he sent me this text to read. The music of Sinners is unequivocally intertwined with the contributions of everyone else here tonight. Ryan, Zinzi, Sev, Hannah, Autumn, Ruth, Michael B, Miles, Delroy, Wunmi, Jack, Monique Champagne, Shunika Terry, Sian Richards, Mike Fontaine, Christopher Welker, Benny Burke, Brandon Proctor, Steve Boeddeker, Francine Maisler, and of course Warner Brothers. Shout out to Pam and Mike for believing in us. We all took the transcendent script written by the man reading these words as a gift. We all sought to share in the most joyful way possible. Thank you to the BAFTAs for recognizing our family of artists, creators, and the rest of the musicians who brought their personal truths to the music of Sinners. I share this with you all. Thank you. ”
The other nominees were Joscelin Dent-Pooley (Jerskin Fendrix) for Bugonia, Alexandre Desplat for Frankenstein, Jonny Greenwood for One Battle After Another, and Max Richter for Hamnet.
