Ludwig Göransson wins Oscar for best original score for 'Sinners'
The cast of "Bridesmaids" presented Göransson with the award, his third Oscar win overall.
In his acceptance speech, Göransson paid tribute to his dad, who he said bought his first blues album in Sweden in 1964.
"The music was so powerful that it changed my dad's life, and he devoted his whole life to music," Göransson said, adding that it was his dad who introduced him to the guitar, which "became everything to me."
"It was the guitar that opened up a lot of doors for me, and it was the guitar that brought me over to the States and it was the guitar that eventually led me to one of the greatest storytellers of our time, Ryan Coogler," Göransson said. "Ryan, thank you for your vision and making a movie that resonated with the whole world."
Goransson is up for another Oscar tonight for best original song for "I Lied To You" from "Sinners."
