Sinkie Award for Best Original Screenplay

The Sinkie Award for Best Original Screenplay is an award presented annually by the Everything But the Kitchen Sink podcast since the awards debuted in 2018. The award honors the best screenplay not based on previously published work. Seven scripts are nominated every year for this award. There have been 49 films nominated for this award, and seven winners.
The screenwriters with the most nominations in this category are Ari Aster, Bong Joon-ho, Martin McDonagh, and Jordan Peele, all with two.
==Correlation to the Academy Awards==
The Sinkie Awards have a mixed correlation with the Academy Awards in this category. Of the 49 films nominated for the Sinkie for Best Original Screenplay, 26 were also nominated for the Oscar. Of the seven Sinkies Best Original Screenplay winners thus far, two went on to win the Oscar as well: Get Out and Parasite. Only one Sinkie winner for Original Screenplay has ever won without also being nominated at the Oscars: Eighth Grade. And in the brief history of the Sinkies, two Oscar winners for Best Original Screenplay have missed Sinkie nods: Green Book and Belfast.
==Winners and nominees==
In the list below, winners are listed first, bolded with asterisks around them, followed by the other nominees. The year shown is the one in which the film premiered - the year of release. This is also the year before the ceremony at which the award is given; for example, a film exhibited thetrically during 2021 was eligible for consideration for the 2021 Best Original Screenplay Sinkie, awarded in 2022. The number of the ceremony (1st, 2nd, etc.) appears in parentheses after the awards year, linked to the article on that ceremony.
