After making Grammy history with five nominations, Armenian-American producer Sev Ohanian has now earned a Golden Globe nomination as a producer of his acclaimed film “Sinners,” which is competing for Best Motion Picture (Drama) at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards. While “Sinners” has earned a total of seven Golden Globe nominations across multiple categories, Ohanian is a named nominee specifically in the Best Motion Picture (Drama) category. The recognition marks a defining moment for Armenian representation in Hollywood and adds another major milestone to one of the most successful awards-season runs of the year, reports the Armenian Film Society (AFS).
“Sinners” has become one of the most celebrated films of the year, securing recognition from the American Film Institute, National Board of Review, and Sight and Sound, which each named it among the year’s best films. The film has also earned widespread praise from major critics groups including the New York Film Critics Circle, Los Angeles Film Critics Association, Washington DC Area Film Critics Association, and Toronto Film Critics Association.
Sev Ohanian was recently inducted into the Armenian Film Society’s Armenian Film Hall of Fame by his longtime business partner Ryan Coogler on September 7, 2025, further cementing his legacy and influence in the Armenian creative community.
The 2026 Golden Globes will air live on CBS on Sunday, January 11 at 5pm PST.
Ohanian’s nomination marks another significant achievement for Armenian filmmakers at the Golden Globes. “Sinners,” now one of the most recognized films of the year with seven total nominations, continues building on its record-breaking performance at the 2026 Grammy Awards, where it made Grammy history with five nominations across major score, original song, and soundtrack categories. This achievement placed the film alongside legendary titles such as “The Bodyguard,” “Purple Rain,” and “A Star Is Born” as one of the most-nominated films of all time at the Grammys, further underscoring its cultural and artistic impact.
