Sinkie Award for Best Actress

The Sinkie Award for Best Actress is an award presented annually by the Everything But the Kitchen Sink podcast since the awards debuted in 2018. It is given to an actress who has delivered an outstanding performance in a leading role in a film released that year. Seven individuals are nominated every year for this award, There have been 49 actresses nominated and eight winners (at the 2020 ceremony, there was a tie between Lupita Nyong'o for Us and Florence Pugh from Midsommar). 
Frances McDormand has the most wins in this category with two. She is tied with Viola Davis, Margot Robbie, Saoirse Ronan and Lady Gaga for most nominations in this category. Frances McDormand is the oldest winner in this category at 63 years old, while Yalitza Aparicio is the youngest at 23.
== Correlation to the Academy Awards ==
The Sinkie Awards have a mixed correlation with the Academy Awards. Of the 47 nominees for the Sinkie for Best Actress, 20 of them were also nominated for the Oscar. Three of these performances went on to win the Oscar, two of them given by Frances McDormand, in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and Nomadland, respectively, and the other being Michelle Yeoh in Everything Everywhere All At Once. Three Sinkie winners for Best Actress have won without also being nominated at the Oscars: Lupita Nyong'o for Us, Florence Pugh for Midsommar, and Renate Reinsve for The Worst Person in the World. In the brief history of the Sinkies, two Oscar winners for Best Actress missed out on Sinkie nods: Renee Zellweger for Judy and Jessica Chastain for The Eyes of Tammy Faye. The count goes up to three if you count Olivia Colman, who won the Lead Actress Oscar, but the Supporting Actress Sinkie, for her performance as Queen Anne in The Favourite.
==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 theatrically during 2021 was eligible for consideration for the 2021 Best Actress 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.
Nominees with an asterisk* were also nominated at the Oscars. Nominees with a + won the Oscar.
