Wunmi Mosaku continues to prove why she’s one of the most compelling performers of her generation. The acclaimed British-Nigerian actress has been nominated for Outstanding Supporting Performance at the 2025 Gotham Awards for her stunning role in the independent drama Sinners.

In Sinners, Mosaku delivers a deeply haunting and nuanced portrayal of a woman grappling with the weight of guilt, redemption, and survival in a small religious town torn apart by secrets. Her performance — described by critics as “raw, precise, and quietly devastating” — has become one of the film’s most talked-about elements.

The film itself has been earning steady buzz on the festival circuit for its unflinching storytelling and powerful ensemble cast. Directed by newcomer Leila Hammond, Sinners explores the complexities of morality and forgiveness in a world where everyone has something to hide.

Mosaku, known for standout roles in Lovecraft Country, We Need to Talk About Kevin, and His House, brings both intensity and empathy to every frame. Her Gotham nomination marks yet another milestone in a career defined by bold choices and emotional truth.

Fans and peers alike have taken to social media to celebrate the news, with one user writing, “No one does quiet power like Wunmi Mosaku — she’s in a league of her own.”

With awards season heating up, this Gotham nod could signal a strong path toward further recognition — perhaps even a BAFTA or Oscar push. Whether or not she takes home the trophy, one thing is clear: Wunmi Mosaku’s performance in Sinners has already left an indelible mark on 2025’s cinematic landscape.
